Well, just to close out the post:
I got it working after making the operator into a friends funtion in the virtual parent class, Employee:
friend bool operator ==(Employee emp1, Employee emp2)
{
if (emp1.empNum == emp2.empNum)
return true;
else
return false;
}
In the main part of the program I create a temp object of derived class Engineer, set the empNumber and then do a simple comparison of the pointer array to the temp object:
case 6:
int tempNum;
bool found; int foundCount;
int j;
found=false;
system("cls");
cout << " Input the employee Number: ";
cin>>tempNum;
tmpEmpRec->setNum(tempNum);
j=0;
do
{
if(*tmpEmpRec == *(employee[j]))
{
found = true;
foundCount = j;
};
j++;
}while ((!found)&& j<empCount);
