I did I really did try that.

[alenn]

can you show me how your code looks like, now after those changes.

Now it works. You should google for switch/case statements in c++, you can't use switch after every case, you use switch only ones. For example, if you want check if number is equal 5:
switch(number){
case 1:
cout << "NUmber is not 5";
case 2: ...
case 3: ...
case 4: ...
case 5:
cout << "Number is 5".

I hope you understand

[Julia]

That was the problem. I get it. I was using switch after every statement. I get it now. Thanks so much for all your help.
