how do we have to help you when u won't describe your error at all? what's not working? what's bad? do you get any compilation errors? or what?

error C2664: 'SkriverTilFil' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'main::student *' to 'student []'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast.

Sorry, forgot to post that. This is the error i get. I am very new in this, so i have no idé what it means.
Thanks in advance

Code:

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
 
struct student
    {
        char name[80];
        char Etternavn[80];
        struct date fodt;
    }studenter[20];
 
    SkriverTilFil(&studenter[AS]);

Since you defined your student structure inside of main, how will your SkriverTilFil() know anything about this structure? Your structure needs to be defined before it can be used, and by defining this structure in a function it is only available inside that function. No other function will be able to use it. So I recommend you define your structures outside of any function and before any function that will require this structure.

Thanks I will try that ^^

That doesn't bode well.
