Error LNK2019 (Help?)

Pacopenguin (7)
Hey! So I'm writing a Go Fish program, and i'm getting this really funky error:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "bool __cdecl VldCard(char,int * const)" (?VldCard@@YA_NDQAH@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl Guess(char &,int * const)" (?Guess@@YAXAADQAH@Z)

I have no idea why it's doing this but I think that it has something to do with my VldCard function and Guess function which are included below:

void Guess(char &guess, int pHand[5])
//Grabs the guess from the user
{
bool valid = true;
do{
cout << "Which card would you like to choose?: ";
cin >> guess;
if (guess == 'a' || guess == 'A')
valid = VldCard(1, pHand);
else if (guess == 'j' || guess == 'J')
valid = VldCard(11, pHand);
else if (guess == 'q' || guess == 'Q')
valid = VldCard(12, pHand);
else if (guess == 'k' || guess == 'K')
valid = VldCard(13, pHand);
else{
int nGuess = CharInt(guess); //CharInt converts the guess of type char to an int value
valid = VldCard(nGuess, pHand);
}
} while(valid);
}

bool VldCard(int guess, int pHand[5])
/*Checks to see if the guess the player entered is in the player's hand
returns true if not in hand, false otherwise*/
{
if (guess == pHand[0] || guess == pHand[1] || guess == pHand[2] || guess ==
pHand[3] || guess == pHand[4])
return false;
return true;
}

So if anyone out there can help me figure out why it's doing this and how to fix it then you earn my undying gratitude. Thanks so much!

Can you post your whole source? And use code tags please.

Yeah sorry. Just joined today, didn't know there were such things as code tags
