Sorry if this was incorrect.

Greetings,

Here are the two errors I'm getting:


[C++ Error] Setup.h(89): E2303 Type name expected
[C++ Error] Setup.h(89): E2139 Declaration missing ;


I don't know how to do this easily and quickly, but I'll try. There is a 
header file for a class I've created. If I comment out it being included 
from a Form header file (TSetupForm) and comment out the member variable 
I added to that form which is a pointer to the class I've created then 
it compiles fine.

I've included this header elsewhere and if I make the changes stated 
above then it compiles fine. I am successfully using the class in my 
program and it's just when I include it in this one place it freaks out. 
If I DON'T include the header file, and just put "class" in front of my 
member variable that is a pointer to that class type it compiles fine. I 
  haven't extensively tried to use that though but I'm assuming it would 
work. I have this header file included in the header file of the main 
Form that is an MDI Parent to all my other forms. It's very weird.

You can get the source and look at it yourself if anyone wants to. It's 
not very big at all as I've just started this program. The link is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Something strange with header 
files is going on, but I can't figure out what. I can't seem to find any 
great reference material on C++ and header file handling either. 
Surprise, surprise. It's not a glorious aspect I guess.



Cheers and thanks!!!
