TROUBLE WITH STREAMING DATA INTO AN ARRAY OF STRUCTS

TRICH0615 (1)
I am having a problem connecting my external file with a stream...I have only one error for the entire program. But just to give the background of it I am to extract data froma .txt file into the program and then input the data into an array of structs called data[]. within the struct there are three members called id, scores, and grade. Im having problems though because when it does execute it only shows 0s instead of the student id and scores in the file. below is my code and the data in the file scores.txt

tHIS IS THE .TXT FILE WHICH IS TO BE PUT INTO THE STREAM.

THIS IS THE ONE ERROR I AM GETTING:
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\fstream(676) : error C2248: 'std::basic_ios<_Elem,_Traits>::basic_ios' : cannot access private member declared in class 'std::basic_ios<_Elem,_Traits>'

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\ios(151) : see declaration of 'std::basic_ios<_Elem,_Traits>::basic_ios'
with
[

This diagnostic occurred in the compiler generated function 'std::basic_ifstream<_Elem,_Traits>::basic_ifstream(const std::basic_ifstream<_Elem,_Traits> &)'
with

ILL APPRECIATE ANY HELP ANYONE CAN GIVE ME.

This problem seem familiar, I may have crossed it before. It is saying that the ifstream copy constructor is private.
So - we will use pass by reference instead.

Line 19 - the readStuData function prototype- change it to read:
bool readStuData(ifstream&, bool&, studentInfo data[]); //use a reference

Line 35 - the readStuData function definition - update to
bool readStuData(ifstream& inData, bool& successful, studentInfo data[]) //pass ifstream by reference

P.S - I think NOT being able to copy construct streams is a standard thing - but I will check on that.
