Use the correct decl.
void Student::SetName(char* Name);
{
}

You would actually need to remove the semicolon:
void Student::SetName(char* Name)
{
}

You are passing a char* to a char.
Change the char to char* in your function's argument list

correct?
A global function, yes.
SilverShalkin wrote:
int main()
{
SetName("Judy")
return 0;

So long as it was visible to main, i.e. declared before it or forward declared.

You can only call this function on a student, there is no global function of this name. If you made the function static, you could call it on Student itself, otherwise you need to create a student and call the method.
Student s;
s.SetName("a") // You allowed a char, which is one character

Yeah, but at least I spotted why he couldn't access the function....
Seriously, you're right, of course. *blush*

The funny thing is that it might have worked for the guy if he casted it and he'd have used it without realizing it was a typo error

I was thinking that.. the only problem is that the student...
Student s
i will always keep adding students.. could i make s an array?
that always changes? like:
Student s[nextname];
?
Thanks All

No, you cannot do that - you can make an array of students ( or better yet, a std::vector ). That would be the point - each student knows what it's name is.
To make s an array you would put
Student [12] s;
( from memory )

why is the [12] behind s? And so i wouldnt beable to make the [12] into somthing that increases everytime you call it?
oh,... this project is a learning project... its not ment to go the easy path or anything, its ment for me to understand the class and using header. there is a couple other ways i probably could do this "me" you know, the guy that know the least on this forum...

Read my first STL article, on vector. That's what you need to have a dynamic array.

I applaud you for taking this on, I'm sure you'll learn a lot from it.
Just keep the questions coming....

I have finally finished my program. I let some friends download it and they got some DLL errors. I was wondering how to fix this. I heard there was a certain way to build it which includes all the DLL files needed to run the program but I'm not sure. Any help would be great.

Yah, you need to compile it with statically linked librarys.
Or you could just package the DLLs with your .EXE
|
|
|
|
|
To find out what dlls your program is using you can open use the Dependency Viewer utility that ships with Visual Studio

If you are using MFC, you can link MFC statically. Change your project options to achieve this.
You'll also need to distribute and register any ActiveX controls you are using.

I looked through all the options and couldn't find anything about statically linking. Does it have to be done when you first create the project or am I just missing something?

Which version are you using?
VC++ 6.0?
VC++ 7.0?

Wel, I dont have 6 installed currently, so I apseaking from memory.
Take Project Options. First tab.
You'll see a combo box, that currently says "Link MFC dynamically". Change that to "Link MFC statically"

Hi!
I'm new at MFC and dialog programming. I was just wondering if there is any kind of main loop function in a dialog?
Thanks for your answers
