Am i defining this struct wrong?

Delete the struct name in the first line : typedef struct { . . So far ...

I think what you wrote is correct. I used to code NI's drivers with many of such struct typedefs. And 3 minutes ago I copied your struct and pasted onto a console project and a MFC project, both of them compiled without an error! Maybe you post the entire build log, and we could find out what happened..... Maxwell Chen No code is good code.

Where is the entire build log located?

[Maxwell Chen]

You may rebuild all again, and copy the content in the Build tab of the Output window. Or you may copy what in the .plg file.... Maxwell Chen No code is good code.

It could be that: 1. You have a struct of that name defined somewhere else 2. Perhaps you don't have "include guards" in the header file that defines the struct, and it is getting pulled in twice. I always do something like this to ensure that #2 does not happen: #ifndef _whatever_your_h_file_name_happens_to_be_ #define _whatever_your_h_file_name_happens_to_be_ (code of the include file goes here) #endif No generalization is 100% true. Not even this one.

The name after the struct is a "tag". The posters problem is elsewhere. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.

Like Navin, your struct compiles fine in my code. I think if you follow his advice you'll find the source of your problem. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.

#pragma once

instead of the above ... however the above woudl be the more standard way of doing things :-D
