unresolved external symbol

[lance5057]

Everytime I call a function to populate a struct array I get this error:

main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl Populate(struct Enemy)" (?Populate@@YAXUEnemy@@@Z)
C:\Users\Tyler\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Bizzles_Labyrinth\Release\Bizzles_Labyrinth.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I've tried making a small program to do the same thing and it works without issue but for some reason I cannot get it to work else where.

void Populate(Enemy* p_enemy) {

  int flag;

  for(int i=0; i<199; i++){
    flag = rand()%1;

    switch(flag){
    case 1:{  //Flycan
      p_enemy[i].name = 1;
      p_enemy[i].hp = 5;
      p_enemy[i].ap = 1;
      p_enemy[i].graphic = 1;
      p_enemy[i].x = rand()%10000;
      p_enemy[i].y = rand()%10000;
           }
    }
  }
}

this is populate.cpp. it's supposed to take Enemy *enemy = new Enemy[199]; and fill it but all I ever get is an error. Any idea why it wont take it?

To begin with, the error mentions Enemy - not Enemy* - so
there is something wrong between your function prototype, or function definition or something like that.

So what should it be - Enemy or Enemy*

Wow I've been fighting with this for a week and all it was was mismatched asterisk. Thank you for your help.
