problem writing out to a file using a structure

robbrown (1)
Hello All,

I am having a problem writing out an array of structures to a text file. I originally wrote this program with just an int array and it worked. i then changed the program to use structures and it has problems when writing out. the file gets created but nothing gets written to it. I know the output file gets created because when i check the program folder there is a text file with the specified name but empty. the file compiles just fine but when i run the program it jumps out after the output file is created and gives an exception to a function in the xlocale header. anyways my code is posted below, any help would be much appreciated.
