FC4 Isn 't Complaining About Incomplete Array Elements Anymore 2006-02-13 - By Jesse
Back
Thanks for your help Mike.
After I emailed you (and the list) the 2nd time, I took another look at the
code and moved the structs above the declarations. I compiled and voila!
Everything worked fine (for that part of my errors).
Now... it's a new ball of wax...
Changing and configuring things to the way I want them. ;)
Thanks again for your help. It's appreciated.
Expect more posts to the list from me later... when I start to mess with the
code some more.
