Need help with fixing a almost done program

[ashrafu1]

hello
me and my friends were assigned to make a program that can add,delete,update and show information. we were able to make this code ( am sending u ) but we cannot solve some problem like the after adding or deleting or any other work the window does not goes back to front window. and if a court is booked its again became book by next information. like if student 1 books at 14:00 court A date 21/4/2011 . next person who wants the court at the same time just get the court ( needs this court to be booked for that time after it was booked by the 1st person).
hope we get help soon

That's a very long piece of code to ask someone to go through. Try to narrow down a specific region where you think the problem is occurring (you have your loop with the menu at the top, try to figure out why control is not reaching that point again). Try to think of ways to refactor some of the parts of main() into functions.

i need a code that can book the court and date and lock it . like if student 1 want a court at 14:00 at 21/04/02011 after inputing the data the program should lock that day and time, and when other one want the court it will show that the court is book.
thnx

I understand your requirement. I'm saying that rather than weeding through 500 lines of code, it would be preferable for you to say "On line X of function Z, I want to be able to enter Y, but the line fails to execute" rather than "here's my requirement."

all rite got u . thnx for reply. well my problem is the whole program . this is my 1st sem and i will never need C++ ever so i didnt concentrate on the class now i donno what to do . am saying this coz i really donno which of this functions are related with the problem i am facing. think i have to go through and do the program again :S
