any help would be appreciated
THANK YOU!!

I got a lot of errors when I compiled your program. Can you be more specific on what errors are stumping you? The first error according to my compiler is on line 18 where your function prototype:

Code:

void initialize(student_record DB[30],int &count);

This is incorrect. It should be int* count. Start with fixing the first error, then recompile, repeat.
