i'm trying to make it so that the program returns back to the login screen after creating an account instead of exiting the program. I tried but so far not working.

"=" is assignment, "==" is the test for equality.

Hint: Outer loop

[GolDRoger]

changed "while(k = 0)" to "while(k == 0)" it compiles alright but it doesn't run.

Didn't you notice something else on that line? Something like a spare ";"

thanx a whole lot don't know how i could have missed that, must be getting tired.
