in this function I can read & write to the in_stream with no problem

int object_name::func_name (ifstream &in_stream);

but if I declare this variable:

ostrstream temp_str_stream(temp_string, 2000);  // note this is oSTRstream

then the ifstream object stops working (ie. all reads from it return NULL)

any ideas?  thanks.

Paul.
