1.  Don't use ".h" files in a C++ program.  Change those to cstdlib 
and cstring.  Assuming, of course, that you really want to use C 
strings.

2.  Your prototype for CreateEmployee needs to be after you define 
what a "struct Emp" is so that you can put "struct Emp" in your 
parameter list.

3.  Your parameter list needs a pointer to a "struct Emp" not just a 
"struct []".

4.  You're not setting the employee id based on the subscript into 
the array.

5.  You're setting the employee id to 0 for all employees.

There are probably other things that I'm not seeing in a cursory 
glance.  I made these mods and the code ran correctly.

It would be really hard to determine what your problems were without 
the code to look at.  :)
