Phantom records in turbo pascal!!

Hey,

I could have posted this in my other thread, but i though this was strange enough to make a thread of it.

So im still working on the program mentioned in my other thread, it runs with a main menu procedure. When the user selects a menu option, program goes to procedure, carries it out, etc, etc, and then comes back to the menu again. When this occurs, my program believes it is storing an additional 1, 2, or even 3 records in its text data file, when it actually isn't! I open my data file, the other questions i had entered are in there, but then there are several blank lines where the additional records would appear, hence the thread title PHANTOM RECORDS :/

does anybody have any ideas as to why this happens? I've gone through my code and can't really tell why this happens

You need to post your new code, as the old one in the other thread has changed.
