Virtual function question

Hi,

If I have a base class with a virtual function defined:
class CBase {
  virtual void Foo();
};

void CBase::Foo()
{
  // base class functionality
}

and a derived class which overrides the base class Foo():
class CDerived: public CBase {
  void Foo();
};

CDerived::Foo()
{
  // derived functionality
}

If I had a pointer to an object of type CDerived, how can I call the base
classes version of Foo() rather than the polymorphic version?
CDerived derived;
CDerived* p_derived = &derived;
p_derived->Foo(); // Want to somehow be able to call base class Foo()!

I think there is a simple way to do this, but I can't find it.

Thanks,
B
