The compiler is telling you that it expects the second argument to
FldInsert to be 'const char *' and you passed in something that is type
'ModuleType', which is an enum. The compiler can't convert an enum
into a string -- you have to do that yourself.
So, if you want to insert the word "Lecture", "Tutorial", or "Lab" then
you have to look at the ModuleType and use it to determine which word
to insert.
You could use something like:
Char * names[3] = {"Lecture", "Tutorial", "Lab"};
// ...
FldInsert(fldP, names[recP->Type], StrLen(names[recP->Type]));
