Hello,
Thanks for responses, but I think I need to make our problem a little
clearer. I am using several .cpp files in my project. I would like to have
one header file that contains all my function prototypes. This has been
working great until I tried to prototype a function that has a structure
data type as one of its parameters. I tried what Ralph suggested and it
works just fine but that is not what I am trying to do. What I have done to
get around this is to prototype the function in the files that will use the
function. This seems to work. But again its not the way I would like to do
it.
Thanks,
Alex
