VS2005 - Undeclared Identifier (though header is included)

[Cymae]

Hello All,

I come from a Java background, so please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but I haven't been able to work out the issue.

I'm using a plug-in for a brief application I'm writing, and I have to connect to a database.

I'm making a C++ MFC MDI application, and I'm trying to connect to the database in my child frame. I'm using the following code:

CChildFrame::CChildFrame()
{
	// TODO: add member initialization code here
	ODBCConnect pConnect;
	pConnect.ConnectStr = "DSN=Students";
	IDC_TTF11.ODBCConnectEx(pConnect, true);
}

At the top of my page I have a header file called CF1Book.h included:

#include "versionfour.h"
#include "ChildFrm.h"
#include "CF1Book.h"

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif 

inside my CF1Book header I have the following code:

void ODBCConnect(BSTR * pConnect, BOOL bShowErrors, short * pRetCode)
	{
		static BYTE parms[] = VTS_PBSTR VTS_BOOL VTS_PI2 ;
		InvokeHelper(0x10c, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_EMPTY, NULL, parms, pConnect, bShowErrors, pRetCode);
	}

void ODBCConnectEx(LPDISPATCH pConnectObj, BOOL bShowErrors)
	{
		static BYTE parms[] = VTS_DISPATCH VTS_BOOL ;
		InvokeHelper(0x579, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_EMPTY, NULL, parms, pConnectObj, bShowErrors);
	}

When I try to run it, I get an Undeclared Identifier error for the first mention of ODBCConnect. Any ideas why? I thought if i included the header file with the information for it, that I could then call it

What's the exact error?
