[raist]

could anyone tell me where i am messing this up please?

struct empinfo{
	char name[21];
	char name1[21];
	int hours;
	float payrate;
};

#include <c:\Documents and Settings\Pat\Desktop\Copy of New Folder (3)\empinfo.h\m15.cpp\struct15.cpp>
  extern void getempdata(struct empinfo emp1[], int &count1,int MAX1);
int main()
{ const int MAX =25;
struct empinfo emps[MAX];
int count;
getempdata(emps,count,MAX);
return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
#include <c:\Documents and Settings\Pat\Desktop\New Folder (3)\m15.cpp\m15.cpp\struct15.cpp>
using namespace std;

void getempdata(struct empinfo emp1[], int &count1, int MAX)
{
char ans,ret;

	count1 =0;
	
	while (((ans=='Y')||(ans =='y'))&&(count1<MAX))
	{
		cout << "tnput last name:";
		cin.getline (emp1[count1].name,21);
		cout << "input first name:";
		cin.getline (emp1[count1].name1,21);
		cout << "input hours:";
		cin >> emp1[count1].hours;
		cout << "input payrate:";
		cin >> emp1[count1].payrate;
		count1++;
		cout << "input another - Y or N:";
		cin >> ans;
		cin.get(ret);
	}
	
	return;
}

Why are you #including code inside code?

Where is your struct actually declared, other than in your post?

As a single file, does this work?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// This would go into empinfo.h
struct empinfo{
	char name[21];
	char name1[21];
	int hours;
	float payrate;
};
extern void getempdata(struct empinfo emp1[], int &count1,int MAX1);

// This would go into empinfo.cpp
void getempdata(struct empinfo emp1[], int &count1, int MAX)
{
char ans,ret;

	count1 =0;
	
	while (((ans=='Y')||(ans =='y'))&&(count1<MAX))
	{
		cout << "tnput last name:";
		cin.getline (emp1[count1].name,21);
		cout << "input first name:";
		cin.getline (emp1[count1].name1,21);
		cout << "input hours:";
		cin >> emp1[count1].hours;
		cout << "input payrate:";
		cin >> emp1[count1].payrate;
		count1++;
		cout << "input another - Y or N:";
		cin >> ans;
		cin.get(ret);
	}
	
	return;
}

// This would go into main.cpp
int main()
{ const int MAX =25;
  struct empinfo emps[MAX];
  int count;
  getempdata(emps,count,MAX);
  return 0;
}

As 3 files, it would be like this

// This would go into empinfo.h
struct empinfo{
	char name[21];
	char name1[21];
	int hours;
	float payrate;
};
extern void getempdata(struct empinfo emp1[], int &count1,int MAX1);

#include <iostream>
#include "empinfo.h"
using namespace std;

// This would go into empinfo.cpp
void getempdata(struct empinfo emp1[], int &count1, int MAX)
{
char ans,ret;

	count1 =0;
	
	while (((ans=='Y')||(ans =='y'))&&(count1<MAX))
	{
		cout << "tnput last name:";
		cin.getline (emp1[count1].name,21);
		cout << "input first name:";
		cin.getline (emp1[count1].name1,21);
		cout << "input hours:";
		cin >> emp1[count1].hours;
		cout << "input payrate:";
		cin >> emp1[count1].payrate;
		count1++;
		cout << "input another - Y or N:";
		cin >> ans;
		cin.get(ret);
	}
	
	return;
}

#include <iostream>
#include "empinfo.h"
using namespace std;
// This would go into main.cpp
int main()
{ const int MAX =25;
  struct empinfo emps[MAX];
  int count;
  getempdata(emps,count,MAX);
  return 0;
}

Your project should contain just main.cpp and empinfo.cpp
