it went wrong here

......

C3dObject* pObject = m_pWorld->Import3dmax3DS(szPath, FALSE);

......

and i declare it here

class AFX_EXT_CLASS C3dWorld : public CObject
{
DECLARE_DYNAMIC(C3dWorld);

......

C3dObject* Import3dmax3DS(LPCSTR lpszFileName, BOOL bAddToList=TRUE);

......

Is there a chance that the definition is excluded due to a #ifdef/#endif part.

If this is really the order in which your code is arranged then the error message is because you are using the field before you have declared it.

Show us some code. Deklaration of the class, and some llines were the error occurs.

In a case like this I would preprocess the file and make sure that the compiler can really see the declaration. Also with "compilcated" identifers like this I would double (and triple) check that it is spelt correctly: though from what I can see above it appears to be.

that's not the order

class AFX_EXT_CLASS C3dWorld : public CObject
{
DECLARE_DYNAMIC(C3dWorld);
......
C3dObject* Import3dmax3DS(LPCSTR lpszFileName, BOOL bAddToList=TRUE);
......
}

C3dObject* C3dWorld::Import3dmax3DS(LPCSTR lpszFileName, BOOL bAddToList)
{
......
}

C3dObject* pObject = m_pWorld->Import3dmax3DS(szPath, FALSE);
