Class problem

DarkBlue (6)
I'm trying to create a class, that creates objects, that hold the information for three employees. I've made the specification file(.h), the implementation file (.cpp) and a different .cpp file for the main stuff. For whatever reason it will not boot up I just get an error. "is not recognized as an internal or external command". Can anyone please help me out??!!

Does it compile?

If it compiles, are you sure you're attempting to run it from the correct directory?

If it doesn't compile, what compilation errors are you getting?

Hey thanks for your response! I actually realized I had to right click the project and build the solution... It worked after that, took me awhile until I thought about what you said.
