'Lo, I'm trying to load a list of names into an array of char*'s, and it's giving me problems.

This is my code:



Planet[p].Name is defined as a char*, and I get an access violation writing location error at 'PlanetNames >> SolarSystem[i].Planet[p].Name;'

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Nevermind, I just declared Planet.Name as a string instead of char*, and it worked fine.

Just for the record, if Planet.Name is a char * it needs to reference space that was declared when created or space that was allocated using the new key word. If it isn't pointing to anything valid it means your code is trying to write to unknown space.
