error C3861: 'xxxx': identifier not found

[jumpman17]

OK, I'm getting just this one error.

error C3861: 'upload_data': identifier not found

I have that function in the header file, why is it not seeing it? I can post code if needed.

Yes, the identifier not found means the compiler does not know about upload_data.

Check that everything is spelled correctly and that you are including the header file.

If that fails, then post your header file and the line of code where the error occurs.

I have called other functions from the header file, so I'm not sure why it doesn't like this one.

count = upload_data(gro up, SIZE);

upload_data is a member function. You can't just call it like this.
