What about inheritance do you need help with?

i keep on running the program, but i just cant figure out how to solve the errors in it................i understand the concept and everything but.........i still cant reslove the errors i am finding......the errors are listed below:

--------------------Configuration: Inheritance - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
application_main.cpp
c:\documents and settings\kemoy\desktop\thurday\c++\application_tel.h(15) : error C2504: 'application' : base class undefined

c:\documents and settings\kemoy\desktop\thurday\c++\application_tel.h(14) : see declaration of 'television'
Error executing cl.exe.

Inheritance.exe - 6 error(s), 0 warning(s)

you didn't post application_tel.h, but most likely the reason for those errors is that that file does not include another header (appication.h).

the derive class should be application_tel.h..............but insteadi have 2 files with the name "appication.h".......
