    <p>So here's my code,</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;string&gt; using namespace std; int main() { const int NUM_NAMES = 20; string names [NUM_NAMES] = {"Collins, Bill", "Smith, Bart" , "Allen, Jim", "Griffin, Jim", "Stamey, Marty", "Rose, Geri","Taylor, Terri", "Johnson, Jill", "Allison, Jeff", "Looney, Joe" , "Wolfe, Bill", "Rutherford, Greg", "Javens, Renee","Harrison, Rose","Setzer, Cathy", "Pike, Gordon","Holland, Beth"}; string smallest; int minindex; void displayNames (string[NUM_NAMES], int); cout&lt;&lt;"Here are the unalphabetized names"; ****displayNames(names[NUM_NAMES], NUM_NAMES);**** for(int i=0; i &lt; (NUM_NAMES -1); i++) { minindex=i; smallest=names[i]; for(int j = (i+1); j&lt;NUM_NAMES; j++) { if(names[j]&lt;smallest) { smallest = names[j]; minindex = j; } } names[minindex] =names[i]; names[i] = smallest; system("pause"); return 0; } } void displayNames(string names[], int NUM_NAMES) { for (int i =0; i&lt;NUM_NAMES; i ++) { cout&lt;&lt;names[i]&lt;&lt;endl; } } </code></pre> <p>The line bracketed by four asterisks is the line that the error code references when I try to build. The asterisks are NOT there in my actual code. I don't understand how to fix the error </p> <pre><code>Intellisense: no suitable conversion function from "std::string" to "std::string *" exists </code></pre> <p>I've gone through pages and pages of searches, however all the questions/answers appear to refer to a conversion function from <code>string to int</code> or <code>string to char</code> etc. not <code>string to string</code>.</p> <p>On a side note, I do also have to alphabetize these, will what I currently have work? My professor was saying that the computer should evaluate the strings' char values.</p>

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.
