Consider the following: I have a class CDevices containing, amongst others, a string member

class CDevice
{
public:
   CDevice(void);
   ~CDevice(void);

   // device name
   std::string Device_Name;
   etc...
}

and somewhere else in my code I define another class that contains a vector of pointers to CDevices

class CDevice;
class CServers
{
public:
   CServers(void);
   ~CServers(void);

   // Devices vector
   vector<CDevice*> Devices;
   etc...
}

The problem appears in the following lines in my main.c

pDevice = new CDevice;

pDevice->Device_Name = "de";
Devices.push_back(pDevice);

pDevice->Device_Name = " revolotiunibus";
Devices.push_back(pDevice);

pDevice->Device_Name = " orbium";
Devices.push_back(pDevice);

pDevice->Device_Name = " coelestium";
Devices.push_back(pDevice);

for(int i = 0; i < (int)Devices.size(); ++i)
    cout << "\nLoad name = " << Devices.at(i)->Device_Name << endl;

The output I get is " coelestium" repeated four times: each time I push_back a new element into the vector all of the already existing elements take the value of the one which has just been added. I have also tried using iterators to recover each element in the vector with the same results. Could someone please tell me what's wrong here?

Thankx
