Passing FIELD Object To Function

[TW]

        I have a function (populate_edit_form) declared in a header as such:
                
           /* recmanip.h */
           
           #ifndef RECMANIP_H
           #define RECMANIP_H
           
           #include <ncurses.h>
           #include <form.h>
           #include <string.h>
           #include "winmanip.h"
           #include "dhandler.h"
           #include "sqlite.h"
           
           #define NFIELDS 31 
           #define FORM_WIDTH 30
           #define FORM_STARTY 2
           #define FORM_STARTX 1
           #define CAPTION_WIDTH 15
           
           struct form {
           const char title[15];
           char value[30];
           };
           
           int add_record(void);
           int populate_edit_form(FIELD *field[NFIELDS], FORM *, WINDOW *);
           int print_in_middle(WINDOW *, int, int, int, char *, chtype);
           
           #endif /* RECMANIP_H */

        In one of my files, I call this function like this:

           /* recmanip.c */
           
           #include "recmanip.h"
           
           int add_record(void)
           {
           FIELD *field[NFIELDS];
           FORM *myform;
           WINDOW *form_win;
           int ch, i=0, j=0; 
           struct form form_data[] = {
           {"id", "" }, {"title", "" }, {"artist", "" }, {"hd", "" },
           {"bank", "" }, {"bookmark", "" }, {"active", "" }, {"digitalinput", 
"" },
           {"genre", "" }, {"price", "" }, {"year", "" }, {"remixer", "" },
           {"labelid", "" }, {"class", "" }, {"classnumber", "" }
           };
           
           ===> populate_edit_form(field, myform, form_win);
           
           <snip>

           }

           int populate_edit_form(FIELD *field[NFIELDS], FORM *myform, WINDOW

           };
           
           /* Initialize the fields */

form_win_starty, form_win_startx);
           keypad(form_win, TRUE);
           
           /* Set main & sub window */
           set_form_win(myform, form_win);
           set_form_sub(myform, derwin(form_win, rows, cols, 2, 1)); /* x, y 
relative to form_win */

              print_in_middle(form_win, 1, 0, form_win_width, "Add Record (F1 
to exit)", COLOR_PAIR(1));
           
           /* Post form */
           post_form(myform);
           refresh();
           curs_set(1);
           }

        I'm getting a blank form.  I could put all of this in one block, but, 
when I want to delete a record, 
I don't want to write duplicate code, hence, passing the FIELD, FORM, & WINDOW 
objects.  The address for the form 
is being passed to the function, but, I'm not sure if I'm declaring it right.  
I'm still getting used to pointers 
and array-pointers.  Thanks.
