sorry about that figured I should put this in linux. It's for SuSe not for windows. Again will keep it in mind next time.

Well from what you gave me your structure is not correct

struct struct_tag {
data_type1 variable1;
data_type2 variable2;
.
.
}
Remember a structure is an array of variables of different types (int, char, float)
