		ifstream fin;
		double money = 0.0;
		fin.open(FileName);
				
		double m = atof ( money);
		//test for success, of course
		fin >> money; //input stored in the double

	}


	

	return 0;
}



the 2 errors I get are:

error C2040: 'money' : 'double' differs in levels of indirection from 'char [15]'
error C2088: '>>' : illegal for class

any tips would be appreciated
On line 52, you declare a local variable money, which is an array of characters.

On line 58, you attempt to declare a second variable with the same name, in the same scope. This is illegal.
