size_t is the default type to use as index on arrays, since the "length" property of arrays is of size_t. Since you are overloading the Index operator, its only logical the type of the index to be size_t.

The code you provided isnt sufficient to help you, since we can't reproduce the bug/problem. Either trim your code to a small example, or paste it at dpaste.com
