That line should be:

void CreateEmployee( struct Employee[], int); //prototype



A struct keyword by itself doesn't mean anything to the 

compiler.  You have to follow it with an already defined struct

name.  Another problem is that you use the name struct Employee

in your function, but you never define a struct Employee.  You

define a struct Emp, perhaps that should be struct Employee?

Also, you'll need to move the definition of the struct before the

definition of the prototype in order for the prototype to work.



Some rules of thumb:

Your prototype and function definition should

be nearly identical.

Usual order of program files:

  #include's

  constant defintions (#defin or const)

  Structure declarations/typedefs

  Function prototypes

  Code



Hope this helps.

Stanley
