Hi wheelz,
You should check the input with While loop.It's something like this:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. while((cin >> letter) != '0')
  2. {
  3.        Your switch statement;
  4.        And so... .;
  5. }

Good luck.

So you prompt the user to enter a character.

Ummm, isn't this the definition of "prompt the user to input a single character"? Why would this be a problem?

Bottom of the program:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. case 'Z': cout << "Zulu";
  2.             break;
  3.   default : cout << "Error";
  4. }
  5.  
  6. cin >> a;
  7.  
  8.     return 0;
  9. }
Output the information, accept a character (which reads the [enter] from above -- remember, you entered a letter AND the ENTER key) and exit. The only problem I see is the program probably doesn't wait at the end. Change the top cin to getline to keep the input stream clean, read it into a string and move the first character of the string to letter and continue.

Also, #include "stdafx.h" i not necessary.

It is with VC++ compilers and have precompiled headers turned on.
