I dont know what you mean with "my file managment code, otherwise its fine", but I do see a lot of goto's which is a bad thing, since they ruin program flow and make it less readable.Generally, you can write every structured programme without using goto's and in most cases you should go that way.So use goto's only when they are necessary (which is a rare thing) and use other language constructs to structure your code in a more readable form.

Also, this might be a good read :)

Tarun,

C and C++ both have a switch statement. Use of the statement can really make your life easier.

Savage pointed out the "goto" issue your code has; but that's not what's causing you grief at the moment.

To find the "Unreachable Code", read your complier's error message and go to the line it calls out. The problem is likely the line immediately preceeding.

Luck!
