Hi All, An option Eljay didn't mention, which I use almost all the time (certainly every time I may have a large number of objects of a given UDT, as I always manage such collections with one of the STL containers), is to store your objects on the heap and manage them through smart pointers (I prefer those in boost - but any that have the right semantics for STL containers will do). They are assignable, and will take care of deleting your objects at the right time. HTH Ted
