Hi guys, I am nearing completion on Mosh’s Fundamental’s of C++ training and am running into an issue near the end of the course when we are taught how to separate function definitions and declarations into a “utils” folder. I have followed the instructions as illustrated in the video but am running into an issue. Despite my utils folder being created within my Project / Solution, the main.cpp cannot seem to find the “utils/greet.hpp” file. My main.cpp file is located in a source files folder, idk if that changes anything. I have attached a screenshot of how it looks on my end. If anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate the help. Best, Eric ![screenshot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/codewithmosh/original/2X/d/d5ab499e03bc62f78b553a21c6a43e2370a0f137.png) ---

Well. In `greet.cpp` you should include `"greet.h"` instead of `` because definition of `greet()` is in `greet.cpp`.
