: im having errors saving my DBs to a file.
: Im takin in the filename......and opening ofstream x(filename)....Im gettin this error.....

: : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class std::basic_string,class std::allocator >' to 'const char *'

: but filename is a string??........any help is appreciated
Its a string, yes, ofstream expects a ptr to a sequence of characters (C-style strings), not the newer type. Just use filename.c_str() to convert it and you'll be fine.
