Hi Robert,
 
 I am using VC++ 2003
 
 I must say, the following workaround just work :) :) :)
 
 void load(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) 
  { 
      void * xptr; 
      xptr = & fiducialPairSearchRegionMap; 
      map<FiducialPair *, vector<RectPair> > *mptr; 
      mptr = static_cast<map<FiducialPair *, vector<RectPair> > >(xptr); 
      ar >> *mptr; 
  } 
 
 Btw, may I know what is the reason behind of using static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast (reinterpert_cast can be compiled too)? Is it by following a thumb of rule, "use static_cast if you can and use reinterpret_cast if you have to"?
 
 Thank you very much!
