Why is this ALWAYS happening to me!?

I need help. I have this function which uses structures. The thing is, it can use all kinds of structures: struct Foo { int a,b,c,d; }; struct Bar { int e,f,g,h; }; struct myStruct { int I,feel,good; }; the structure has a parameter where i insert a pointer of a structure which i then can use to poke around in a memory "pool" of which the structure creates. UnknownFunction(0,0,(BYTE**)&structFoo); structFoo[0].a = 1211; structFoo[0].b = 2422; structFoo[0].c = 3633; UnknownFunction(0,0,(BYTE**)&structBar); structBar[0].e = 1211; structBar[0].f = 2422; structBar[0].g = 3633; UnknownFunction(0,0,(BYTE**)&myStruct); myStruct[0].I = 1; myStruct[0].feel = 1; myStruct[0].good = 0; Now I *_really_* hate defining pointers which I''m only going to use once, so i''ve made my own function of which stores a structure i provide, in a predefined pointer. I.e: void *pStruct; which I SHOULD be able to use: pStruct.x = dumdedum; But when I do this, the program keeps complaining about "Size unknown!!". Is it even POSSIBLE to have a pointer which can change in type? Or something like that? I.e: MyFunc(Foo); //pStruct = Foo; pStruct[0].a = 0; //instead of Foo[0].a = 0 MyFunc(Bar); //pStruct = Bar; pStruct[0].e = 0; //instead of Bar[0].e = 0 MyFunc(myStruct); //pStruct = myStruct; pStruct[0].Good = 0; //instead of myStruct[0].Good = 0
