But when I compile the above declarations I get two compiler error messages: C141: syntax error near 'HDEntriesTYPE' and C129: missing ';' before HDWindowStartSTRUCT I don't no where is the problem. Can anybody give me a hint?! Thanks. RoGeR

The declaration of HDEntriesType must preceed its use, thus: typedef struct { unsigned long StartClusterUL; unsigned long FileSizeUL; unsigned char FileNameUC[HD_MAX_NAME_LENGTH]; // 40 Characters + ".mp3" + \0 } HDEntriesTYPE; typedef struct { HDEntriesTYPE HDWindowStartSTRUCT; } actualPlayerStatusTYPE; This will compile correctly.
