Hi,
I think u might have typedefined as pointer to structure. Hence mystruct->x
or mystruct->substruct will work(where x and substruct are elements of
mystruct).  If substruct is a pointer to the structure inside a primary
structure then it should work. Otherwise u have to use
    mystruct->substruct.data.

e.g.

typedef struct
{
    int i;
    struct
    {
        int data;
    }substruct1;
    struct
    {
        int data;
    } *substruct2;

}MYSTRUCT;

MYSTRUCT *mystruct1;
MYSTRUCT mystruct2;

mystruct1->substruct1.data - valid.
mystruct1->i - valid
mystruct2->i - invalid.
mystruct1->substruct1->data - invalid.
mystruct1->substruct2->data - valid.

I hope this will answer u'r Q. If not sent the structure definition u are
using.

Regards Sunil
