thank you for responding.
I'll bet better at this with a little practice

the make file...
exp : date1.o emply1.o fig07_04.o
 gxx -o exp.exe date1.o emply1.o fig07_04.o

date1.o : date1.cpp date1.h
 g++ -o date1.cpp emply1.cpp fig07_04.cpp

emply1.o : emply1.cpp emply1.h date1.h
 g++ -o  emply1.cpp

fig07_04.o : fig07_04.cpp emply1.h
 g++ -o fig07_04.cpp

the whole error message...
g++ -o date1.cpp emply1.cpp fig07_04.cpp
make.exe: *** [date1.o] Error -1
why would it work only once?
