Hello i have an error that i can see for the life of me!


im getting a parse error before line 41 and i cant see where!

will be grateful for anyone who can see it!

thanks!

Code:

int main(int) <--- ??? int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    book dbase;
    savei savey;
    book.open(i); <---  Shouldn't it be dbase.open() ???
    
    return(0);
}

And i is undeclared in main().

int main(int){

you can't have a function parameter just declared as int, you have to give it a name, like int i, which I believe is what you intended? because you use the variable i in book.open(i); later.

-edit-
bah, beat me to it, and fixed other stuff too...........i tried *starts weeping*

i have to be blind

cheers people! now to get the rest talking.....
