I CAN NOT GET THIS TO WORK I THINK IT IS GOING WRONG IN THE INDATE FILES

lines 24 and 33: is_open() does not take any parameters.

line 30: you can not put string literal on that line. You have to replace that string literal with a variable name, something similar to what you did on line 21.

There are probably other errors -- I stopped reading your code there.
