Thread: Compiler Error Message

Im creating a console app in MS VC++ 6, when I compile I get the following error message:

Linking...
user_pword.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl set_details(void)" (?set_details@@YAXXZ)
Debug/user_pword.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

any ideas what ive done wrong?

do you need to see the code?

Thanks for any help

I got the same error:P but not with (void). I had (int) and needed (int&).. but since its void.. maby you are using some function 2 times in tha same porgram.. but then again Im still a newbie:P

that doesnt make much sense :s because you can use functions over and over...

but if you have 2 functions called the same:P but never mind me

If Ken Fitlike's post doesn't correct the problem, then I suspect set_details() may be a member in a class. If so, and other class methods work well, then I suspect that there is a discrepancy in the way the function is declared/defined/called with a typo in one or the other. Posting the class declaration, the method definition, and the function call, if any.
