I'm knew to C++ and I always seem to have a problem but all I want to do is to pass an Object to a function by reference..
Thanks in advance
Oh I user boost for directories, paths and files... Also I use c strings for UserName and password as I need to have a limit on what the user enters... ()
The Error messeage is this on Codeblocks/Migw Gcc :error: cannot call member function `bool CUser::createUser(CUser)' without object|

class CUser
{
    public:

        CUser (  ) {
            fs::path config_PATH( fs::initial_path<fs::path>() );
            m_configurationFile_PATH = config_PATH;

            m_userName     [ 0 ] = '\0';
            m_userPassword [ 0 ] = '\0';
        }
        ~CUser ( ) {

        }
        bool createUser ( CUser NewUser );
