Question

a new method that's creates that object?

edit the code:

switch (causwahl){
case '1':
cAccount *oAccount = new cAccount (ID);

case '2' ....

I can't say for sure with such a vague question, but I'm guessing that you're doing something like this:

switch(foo)
{
case 1:
  MyObject bar;
  // ...
  break;

case 2:
  MyObject bar;
  // ...
  break;
}

This isn't allowed because each case statement has the same scope. You need to provide more scope if you want to use the same variable name:

switch(foo)
{
case 1:
  {
    MyObject bar;
    // ...
    break;
  }

case 2:
  {
    MyObject bar;
    // ...
    break;
  }
}
