Hi Joaquín
 
 
It worked fine. Thanks for the quick answer. I really appreciate this.

        Hi Joaquín, Éric
        I appreciate your response, Before that I got some workaround from the web and the snippet I have written to port it to my existing project worked until I face real problem. My observation is like when I have Ordered_index with std::string, the code I have written compiles really well and works also. But when I remove this ordered_index, the code does not compile.Here is the code that compiles: <<Multi_index_container_working.txt>>Here is the code that does not compile: <<Multi_index_container_not_working.txt>>If you see the difference I have only two lines commented.

Yes, I'm able to reproduce the problem you report under MSVC 6.0. 
Two remarks: 

* The problem does not show with the CVS version of Boost.MultiIndex (to 
be shipped in Boost 1.34), as it includes a number of optimizations alleviating 
the choking of MSVC 6.0 with very long symbol names, which is the core 
reason for this weird behavior. 
* Until you switch to Boost 1.34 (and even when you do), you can try avoiding 
the use of tags and using numeric identifiers instead. Tags add some stress to 
such a weak compiler as MSVC 6.0. The attached file is a variation of your 
Multi_index_container_not_working.txt file where tags have been suppressed 
and numerical identifiers used instead. I have checked it out to compile 
and work OK under MSVC 6.0. 

I hope this helps, please keep me informed otherwise,
