    I have a menu (switch statement) and when the user enters the option required it branches off to a new funtion, how would i get it to return to the origanal menu?

    Encase your switch statement in a loop that is exited when the user selects a particular option from the menu. There are plenty of examples on here... try searching and see what you come up with.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using std::cout;
    using std::endl;
    using std::cin;
    
    void Sing(){
    	cout << "Lalala" << endl << endl;
    }
    
    void Shout(){
    	cout << "Ahhhhhh!!!" << endl << endl;
    }
    int main(){
    
    	char ch;
    	bool bLoop = true;
    
    	while(bLoop){
    		cout  << endl << "Enter;" << endl << "1. To Sing" << endl;
    		cout << "2. To Shout" << endl << "3. To Quit" << endl;
    		cout << "Then press return" << endl;
    		
    		cin >> ch;
    
    		if(cin.peek() != '\n'){
    			cout << "Error - 1 digit numer only!" << endl;
    			while(cin.peek() != '\n')cin.ignore();
    			continue;
    		}
    			
    		switch(ch){
    		case '1':
    			Sing();
    			continue;//The continue statement sends it to the top of the loop
    		case '2':
    			Shout();
    			continue;
    		case '3':
    			bLoop = false;
    			break;
    		default:
    			cout << "Wrong selection! Try again" << endl;
    			continue;
    		}		
    	}
    	cout << "That's all folks!" << endl;
    	return 0;
    }
