I put the declaration of the operators (>> for ifstream, and << for ofstream) before I started my private section. I am getting the error that my function can only have one parameter. One of my declarations is as follows: friend ofstream& operator<<(ofstream& ofstr, Map& map); The ifstream one is pretty much the same. Now, I have another class that has the same functionality with the ofstream and ifstream, but I don't get any complaints about that one when I compile it. Are there any ideas about what is going on? Thanks. Brian Ronk ______________________________________________________ Get your free web-based email at http://www.xoom.com Birthday? Anniversary?
