Hey, trivial errors...
Cojones (71)
At line 14 you forgot to add ; after the } from the struct
at line 23 customerInfo[SIZE]; you want to make an instance of that struct, so you do something like this customerInfo MYSTRUCT[SIZE] and you use MYSTRUCT.whatever_you_have_in_that_struct.

I made it customerInfo MYSTRUCT[SIZE]

and at line 131, you typed customerInfo[i]. It's wrong. you need to have something like

cout<< MYSTRUCT.a_thing_in_your_struct[i];

I commented that line. I don't know what you want there. and here is the code without errors.

1.as the first two errors let us expect: your forgot the ";" behind your CustomerInfo-structure... creating a new type is an instruction that needs to be terminated with ";"...

2. customerInfo[SIZE]; ... if u want to create an array of customerInfo´s then customerInfo is the type and not the declarato^^ so customerInfo customerInfoArray[SIZE]; would we the one u wanted^^... and then replay all the "customerInfo" with "customerInfoArray";


darn, too late:D...
