    <p>Lots of issues here...</p> <p>1) Your price variable <code>int price;</code> is of type "int". Meaning a numeric whole value (no decimal point). Yet when you assign to it you do this:</p> <pre><code>first_train-&gt;price = 129.99; // &lt;-- wrong, the .99 isn't going to work there </code></pre> <p>And this:</p> <pre><code>second_train -&gt;price = '69.99'; // &lt;-- wrong... just.. wrong. </code></pre> <p>You'll need to use a double or float if you want these to be number values with a fractional part, or you'll have to use a string if you're not doing math on them</p> <p>2) The second problem is you're trying to use single quotes for strings. <code>'</code> is used for a single character, like <code>'a'</code>, double quotes <code>"</code> are used for strings, such as <code>"an apple"</code></p> <p>So if you want prices to be a string you need "69.99", and your names should be the same "Uncle Bobs train set"</p> <p>3) This is not how you assign a string:</p> <pre><code>third_train -&gt;name = 'Budha Bread Train'; </code></pre> <p>You need to use <code>strcpy()</code> or <code>memcpy()</code> or a function to copy the data into the string. </p> <p>4) Your list is not "linked". You need to point "next" to the next item in your list, right now you just have four independent structures. If you think of a structure in memory like a "block", something like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/v1R4g.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>So you could generate this with the code you have. You have three independent structures, you can access them by <code>first_train-&gt;price</code> for example. But they are just that. Three unlinked structures. The "linked" part comes in with those next pointers. You need to "point" each next pointer to the next node, like this:</p> <pre><code>root-&gt;next = first_train; first_train-&gt;next = second_train; </code></pre> <p>by doing that you're "connecting" the structures, you can think of it like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tbNDL.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>If they were linked like this, if I had just one node (the root) I could access anyone's data:</p> <pre><code>root-&gt;next-&gt;price; //that's first_train's price </code></pre>

    1. COThanks for the answer again Mike. I guess I'm not really seeing the big picture with regards to linked lists. What bits of my code need to change to become linked? Also, I edited the code to adjust of for all the problems. I'm getting a incompatible declaration of strcpy and strncpy.

    2. CO@the5thace - You're welcome again. ;) and once again see if my edit helped, I used pictures this time! Let me know if that explains the "linked" part of the list.

    3. CO@the5thace - `I'm getting a incompatible declaration of strcpy and strncpy` - that's because you need to `#include <string.h>` to use those string functions.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
