I'd fix line #2 before anything else. Never put a using declaration before an include.

Time and Date need to be defined before the Event class. Did you cut out some error messages for lines 17 & 18?

Thanks for the line 2, yes there were a few more, error messages, but line 77 was the one that had me scratching my head. I did not see that I did not define the two classes.

that's related to pan's reply. you did define the class but after you call it. it would gives you a compile error.
