Compiler shows no errors, then 100+ errors

cdashdash (17)
My compiler gives me no indication that there are errors until the program runs. The list of errors is too long to post.
Here's an example though...

Error 1 error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'questions' c:\users\fred steinman\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\trivia game\trivia game\questions.h 8
Error 2 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int c:\users\fred steinman\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\trivia game\trivia game\questions.h 8
Error 3 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int c:\users\fred steinman\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\trivia game\trivia game\questions.h 8
Error 4 error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'answer1' c:\users\fred steinman\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\trivia game\trivia game\questions.h 9
Error 5 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int c:\users\fred steinman\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\trivia game\trivia game\questions.h 9


Here's my code...

Try including using std::string in your header file.

I added that and it expected a semicolon after it. With the semicolon, it gives me this...

Error 1 error C2664: 'questionAnswer' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Questions [10]' to 'std::string []' c:\users\fred steinman\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\trivia game\trivia game\triviagamedemo.cpp 96
Hippogriff (727)
Make sure your function prototype void questionAnswer(string questions[], int); and your function definition void questionAnswer(Questions x[], int count) match.

prototype:void questionAnswer(Questions[], int);
definition:void questionAnswer(Questions x[], int count)
