Ok I am trying to write up a data system on C++ so that when i enter in 1-10 i can choose what i want to do....but I keep on getting errors...and the people i already entered in at the bottom (the void add_record) i dont think it correct because there are about 5 of them. please help....the errors will be at the bottom

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

any help would be very nice!!

Ancient Dragon commented: Thanks for using code tags correctly on your first post :) +36

line 88 of the code you posted: You can not code a function inside another function. Write that function outside any other function then just call it on line 88.

Oh ok...I took out the void part of the beginning of the cases and added void get_Record(); and void add_Record(); to the very beginning, but it still left me with the last error:

1>(437) : error C2084: function 'void add_Record(void)' already has a body
1>(7) : see previous definition of 'add_Record'

That error message is quite explicit -- you have coded that function more than once.
