Passing a data structure by reference causes lnk2019 error

I'm pasting the code below, and the function in question at the top again.  
The function immediately below causes the error.  If I pass by value, it doesn't throw the error at me.  I've also posted the error below.

Thanks!

void fnCalculate(userInput& tempVar1){
}

Error      1      error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl fnCalculate(struct userInput)" (?fnCalculate@@YAXUuserInput@@@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl fnGetUserInput(void)" (?fnGetUserInput@@YAXXZ)      main.obj
