After reviewing and responding to your private message, I've concluded that one problem is that that tthe messages from borland compiler are not has helpful as they could be. In this case they are pretty confusing. Given that you have to use Borland, and that the serialization library works quite well with borland (Thanks in large part to Pavel V.), I would suggest you get another compiler just to help with cases like this. I often use a different compiler just to get a different error message. I can recommend gcc as well as Comeau for this purpose. Its a pain in the neck to install another compiler, but it is very helpful when one is trying to track down a cryptic syntax error.

You're right the error messages are terrible. And to top it off, some error messages I get, lead me to just about anywhere in any file rather than to the source of the problem when double clicking on 'em. The lack of a template instantiation stack makes troubleshooting even harder... I don't really have to use Borland, I could use VC7.1, but as it is, I'm already having to learn ACE, Boost.Serialization, Boost.Date_Time, I would've used Boost.MultiIndex but it wasn't available on BC++ so I didn't want to throw in a GUI library also (no, I didn't want to use MFC.. GUI-wise, VCL is far superior) I'll take a shot at testing with gcc, thanks for the suggestion and your help with this... Pablo Aguilar
