There's no f(int) in scope, only int(foo). You could always switch to A's scope: dynamic_cast<A*>(&b)->f(a); But the best solution is to read up on WHY C++ works this way so you can understand the implications that thousands of great minds have already pondered. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
