I ran into a new problem, the Message object doesn't contain a get  
method.  I read on this forum I should use the fromAdmin method to  
validate passwords.  I'm not really interested in using dynamic_cast  
for each possible message I want to validate.  So how do I get the  
password from a Message field?

Here's my code snippet:

void QFApplication::fromAdmin( const FIX::Message& m, const  
FIX::SessionID& id) throw( FIX::FieldNotFound,  
FIX::IncorrectDataFormat, FIX::IncorrectTagValue, FIX::RejectLogon )
{
    Password pwd;   m.get(pwd);		// compile error - no get method
    DBPassword pwd(id.getString());	// postgre DB integration
    cn.perform(pwd);	// get password from DB
    if(pwd.getString() != pwd) throw FIX::RejectLogon;
}
