Here's a quick bit of code. For some reason when I enter 1, 2, or 3 I get 
the ERROR!!!!! message. If I change Choice to a char type and change 1 2 and 
3 to a b and c it works.
What's wrong?

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    using namespace std;

    int Choice; // Menu choice, as entered by user.
   do
   {
    cout << "***** W E L C O M E *****\n";
    cout << "\nChoose one of the following...\n";
         cout << "1.Create Employee 2.Change wage 3.Exit\n";
    cin >> Choice; // Get user's choice
    switch (Choice) // Beginning our case flow control statements
    {
        case 'a' : cout << "Confirmed - Creating Employee...\n";
                   break;
        case 'b' : cout << "Confirmed - Changing wage...\n";
                   break;
      case 'c' : cout << "Exiting...\n";
                   break;
      default  : cout << "ERROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n";
    }
   }while(Choice > '3' || Choice < '1');
You need to change your case statements
 from case a' case'b' case 'c' to case '1' case '2' case '3' and the program 
will respond according to the menu you've created.
