in this program, we need to add a record, view, and search records.
now. my problem is...
i cannot add another record within this code...

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>

}

i've been working for this for a couple of days already and still i cannot find what's wrong with these.
can you please help me..

I haven't read all your code... but why in your record structure do you declare a bunch of string arrays of size true (1)?

Yes, that is odd using true to indicate the number of elements in an array. true is used for boolean operations, such as true or false, and you can't count on true being equal to 1, it could be -1 in some implementations.

Another point -- get rid of all those goto statements because they are considered very bad programming style.
