Re: Unable to declare a class in 2 forms

Unable to declare a class in 2 forms

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below are 4 forms. Namely: Form1, EmployeeID, AboutBox and
EnterEmployeeName. I made a class to help in open, write and read from
files, called Time. I managed to declare class Time in EmployeeID space,
but could not declare it in EnterEmployeeName. In other words, I can
declare class Time in one space only. I realy want to use class Time in
both forms, EmployeeID and EnterEmployeeName. Can anybody tell me why I
always get error, below, every time I run the program? And how can I use
the Time class in both the above forms? I am showing below the skeleton
and believe me it will compile.

Error message:
