You can just see if AWUTD is y or n and display what you want.

cout<<"Patients Name:"<<Pname<<endl;
cout<<"Patients Age:"<<age<<endl;

cout<<"Patients Current Employer:"<<CEmployer<<endl;

if(AWUTD=='y'||AWUTD=='Y')
{
	cout<<"Work up to date:Yes"<<endl;
}
else if(AWUTD=='n'||AWUTD=='N')
{
	cout<<"Work up to date:No"<<endl;
	cout<<"Specification:"<<AWUTDspecification<<endl;
}

I added the specification if it was no, too.

Change

if(AWUTD=='y'||'Y')
	{
		cout<<"Please Specify:"<<endl;
		getline (cin, AWUTDspecification);
	}
	else if (AWUTD=='n'||'N')
	{
		cout<<endl;
	}

to

if(AWUTD=='y'||AWUTD=='Y')
	{
		cout<<"Please Specify:"<<endl;
		getline (cin, AWUTDspecification);
	}
	else if (AWUTD=='n'||AWUTD=='N')
	{
		cout<<endl;
	}

I'm pretty sure that adding ||'Y' to your if means that if the ASCII code for 'Y' is nonzero, then it's true. So it will be true for the first if every time.

You need to add the bin directory of MinGW to your PATH environment variable.

oops sry =(

if you are getting multiple definition errors, change your headers to look like this:

#ifndef HEADERNAME_H
#define HEADERNAME_H

// Your code here

#endif

That way if you include a header more than once, it'll only be included if it hasn't been.

Try passing C:\Dev-cpp\ or whatever the root directory for Dev-C++ is.

I'll look into it

I think it's giving an error because dev-c++ 4.9.9.2 uses code completion. it makes a cache, and it may be looking for that. =|

No, I have the beta version (4.9.9.2). It's weird. I can't find a config directory. I'll look around for it.

DOES the directory exist?~! If it doesn't, then get a new installer or something.

To pass a parameter to the program, do it from the command line. If it's devcpp.exe. Do dev-cpp.exe -c "C:\config"

A good book that I have recently bought is Programming Windows Fifth Edition by Charles Petzold. It talks about using the Win32 API. It also has code examples and an accompanying CD. It's like $60, but I got mine used for $30 on www.amazon.com.

If the file is in the same directory couldn't you just do this?

#include <conio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
string FileName;
cout << "Enter the file name: ";
cin >> FileName;

cout << endl << endl;

ifstream in(FileName.c_str());
while (!in.eof())
{
char ch;
in.get(ch);
cout << ch;
}
getch();
return 0;
}

Example:
Enter the file name: Stuff.txt

Stuff.
