    <p>I am new to this site and sort of new to programming.</p> <p>I am trying to declare an array of structs and then be able to initialize it in a function call. And then be able to reinitialize it with different values in Main and also be able to call the function to load different values. I am getting some compile errors that I need help with.</p> <p>My code:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt; #define MAX_NAMES 5 typedef struct name // Struct template { int int_value; char *string_value; }Name; void init_struct(struct name SETTINGS); // Function prototype int main() { int i; Name settings[MAX_NAMES]; for(i=0; i&lt;=MAX_NAMES; i++) // Initializes struct { settings[i] = {1, "Test"}; } printf("Before function call:\n-------------\n"); for (i=0; i &lt; MAX_NAMES; i++) // Prints struct printf("%i : int_value = %i, string_value = %s\n", i, settings[i].int_value, settings[i].string_value); init_struct(settings[MAX_NAMES]); // Calls function to reinitalize struct printf("\n\nAfter function call:\n-------------\n"); for (i=0; i &lt; MAX_NAMES; i++) // Prints struct printf("%i : int_value = %i, string_value = %s\n", i, settings[i].int_value, settings[i].string_value); return 0; } void init_struct(struct name SETTINGS) { int i; for(i=0; i&lt;=MAX_NAMES; i++) // Redefines struct { SETTINGS[i] = {{2, "Test2"}}; } } </code></pre> <p>Compile errors:</p> <blockquote> <p>In function 'main':<br> |20| error: expected expression before '{' token<br> In function 'init_struct':<br> |45| error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector<br> |45| error: expected expression before '{' token </p> </blockquote>

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.
