Inheritance compile error

[bschmitt78]

Hello,

Being relatively new to OOP, inheritance is the topic at hand in my class presently. I wrote a 3 mini-programs that each inherit from a base class called "Employee." The compile error I am getting is as follows, and I am wondering if it's due to the Employee.h header file not being located in the same local directory as my derived class:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'Employee.h': No such file or directory
1>Generating Code...

I used the #include "Employee.h" specifier in my derived classes, and I used the resolution operators correctly:

public class CommissionEmployee : public Employee

If you need to see all my program code, I can post it, but I don't think the code I have would help figure this out because the base class is not being recognized at all. I am using Visual C++ Express 2005, and I know that under tools-options there is a screen to configure your library, source, etc., directories but I think all those settings are fine.

Thanks!!

You probably need to move Employee.h to the same directory as the other projects you are including it into.

Yes. Putting quotes around the file you are including tells the compiler to look in the same directory for the file.

OK, thanks. I will try moving the base class files to the derived class directory.

You guys ROCK, thanks! This worked.
