No matching function for custom class

Swirly (5)
In this scheduling program, I am trying to use my class as a data type, but my compiler seems to be interpreting my constructor as a member function, since I get ObjecktApp.cpp no matching function for call to `swirly_objeckt::objeckt::objeckt()' after I attempt to use the class as a data type. I am using dev and visual 2010 express. I would appreciate any help at all. Thanks!

The variable-type date is from another project, I don't think it is relevant, but if needed I will gladly post it.

Edit: Thanks that was hugely helpful!

Because you defined a constructor, the compiler no longer gives you a default constructor, however you are attempting to default construct an instance of objeckt on the error line.

Thanks - I understand what I did wrong, but not how to fix it. Do I need to create another function with no values to act as the default constructor?

Well, either you intended to use the constructor you wrote or not. If you intended to use it, then you would only instantiate objeckt once you have all the parameters. If you didn't intend to use it, then just remove your constructor and the problem will go away.
