I've been trying to include a structure called "student" in a student.h file, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.

My student.h file code consists of entirely:

#include<string>
using namespace std;

struct Student;

while the student.cpp file consists of entirely:

#include<string>
using namespace std;

struct Student {
    string lastName, firstName;
    //long list of other strings... just strings though
};

Unfortunately, files that use #include "student.h" come up with numerous errors like error C2027: use of undefined type 'Student', error C2079: 'newStudent' uses undefined struct 'Student' (where newStudent is a function with a Student parameter), and error C2228: left of '.lastName' must have class/struct/union. It appears the compiler (VC++) does not recognize struct Student from "student.h" or something?

I have tried declaring the whole struct in "student.h", but it didn't help either. How can I declare struct Student in "student.h" so that I can just #include "student.h" and start using the struct? BTW, it seems there are no compiler errors in student.h...
