hi guys,

i have a little problem:

class person
{
	private:
	char name[ 50 ];

	public:
	void setName( char string[] )
	{ name = string; }
	.
	.
	.
};

gives me the error;
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char []' to 'char [50]'

i need the private variable to be an array, what kind of argument do i
need on setName() so that this will work.

i know it's probably a simple pointer issue, and there are many pointer
gurus on this list, and i thank you for any help

russ
