Load List Not Working Correctly PLEASE HELP!

[NCflorida]

Hey guys I'm currently writing a program that does a file and then loads the list then must print them. Something is going wrong and I cannot figure out what it is. If anyone here can please try to help me out or give me some logical advice I'm all open to it. This is what I have so far....

//Struct 
struct PublicOfficial
{
	string name;
	string sob;
	int code;
	int presorder;
	int firstpterm;
	int lastpterm;
	int vpresorder;
	int firstvpterm;
	int lastvpterm;
	PublicOfficial *nextofficial;
};

//Globals
ifstream infile;

//Prototypes
void LoadList ( PublicOfficial *&firstofficial );
void addOfficial ( PublicOfficial *&firstofficial, PublicOfficial *nextofficial );
void printall ( PublicOfficial *firstofficial, PublicOfficial code);
void printoneterm ( PublicOfficial *firstofficial ); 
int menu();

int main()
{
	PublicOfficial *firstofficial = NULL;
	PublicOfficial code;
	int choice;
	
//Calling LoadList
LoadList ( firstofficial );

//Calling Menu
choice = menu();

while ( choice != 7 )
{
	if ( choice == 1 )
		printall ( firstofficial, code );
	else if ( choice == 2 )
		printall ( firstofficial, code );
	else if ( choice == 3 )
		printall ( firstofficial, code );
	else if ( choice == 4 )
		printoneterm ( firstofficial );
	//Calling Menu
	menu();
}
return 0;

}	// End of Main

void LoadList ( PublicOfficial *&firstofficial )
{
	PublicOfficial *newofficial;
	//Opening the file
	infile.open( "officials.txt" );
	if (!infile)
	{
		cout << "This file officials.txt does not exist." << endl;
		exit(1);
	}
	

	while (!EOF)
	{
		
		newofficial = new PublicOfficial;
		newofficial->nextofficial= NULL;
		getline(infile,newofficial->name);
		getline(infile,newofficial->sob);
		infile >> newofficial->code;
			if ( newofficial->code == 3 )
			{
				infile >> newofficial->presorder;
				infile >> newofficial->firstpterm;
				infile >> newofficial->lastpterm;
				infile >> newofficial->vpresorder;
				infile >> newofficial->firstvpterm;
				infile >> newofficial->lastvpterm;
			}
			else if ( newofficial->code == 2 )
			{
				newofficial->presorder = 0;
				newofficial->firstpterm = 0;
				newofficial->lastpterm= 0;
				infile >> newofficial->vpresorder;
				infile >> newofficial->firstvpterm;
				infile >> newofficial->lastvpterm;
			}
			else if (newofficial->code == 1)
			{
				infile >> newofficial->presorder;
				infile >> newofficial->firstpterm;
				infile >> newofficial->lastpterm;
				newofficial->vpresorder = 0;
				newofficial->firstvpterm = 0;
				newofficial->lastvpterm = 0;
			}
		infile.ignore();
		//Calling Add Official
		addOfficial ( firstofficial, newofficial );
	}
	//Closing the file
	infile.close(); 

}
void addOfficial ( PublicOfficial *&firstofficial, PublicOfficial *newofficial )
{
	PublicOfficial *Tptr;
	Tptr = firstofficial;
	firstofficial = newofficial;
	newofficial->nextofficial = Tptr;
}
int menu ()
{
	int choice;
	
	cout << endl;

	cin >> choice;
	//Checking whether choice is vaild
	while ( choice < 1 || choice > 7 )
	{
		cout << "This is an incorrect choice, please choose another: ";
		cin >> choice;
	}
	return choice;
}
void printall ( PublicOfficial *firstofficial, PublicOfficial code)
{
	PublicOfficial *Tptr = firstofficial;
	
	while (Tptr)
	{
		cout << "Name:" << setw(30) << Tptr->name << endl;

	}
}

(1) you dont have a constructor for your struct PublicOfficial.
(2) you dont have a function called printoneterm
(3) you never instantiated firstofficial, it currently is a null reference
(4) last but not least im a little confused by your use of *& next to each other. I would drop the & from all pointers.

Just make sure you '#include' all necessary classes.
after that your program ran fine. (well it never loaded the officials.txt file cause i dont have it).

Let me know if you need anything else.

Another thing to note. Write you code in pieces, then test those pieces before you move on. It saves time on debugging.

Example:

I would have written the struct first, then tested to see if I could instantiate it and all the member variables were right. Then write the loadList() function, test that, and on and on.

also, try to use camel case. Better programming practice.
