Exceptions continued

DEnumber50 (147)
I am trying to teach myself exceptions; and not doing a great job. I have a section of code here in the driver that I am trying to make "bullet proof". I am getting an error message that I don't understand. It says cannot access private member declared in class. I am just playing with it so that the user cannot enter and number other that 1 or 2. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

It helps if you tell us what line the error is on.
DEnumber50 (147)
I do apologize for that. The line is on, 24 of the driver.cpp.
helios (17574)
The constructors for lessThanOneException() and stringException() are private.
DEnumber50 (147)
I see my error! thanks helios!
