Yes, that's always a possibility. every time you retrieve input from with the >> operator, it stops reading at the next whitespace character (including newlines).
You can either use cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(),'\n'); after each call to cin >>
or change all your inputs so that you're retrieving them as strings with getline, and create a simple converter function when you need to turn them into an int.
CODE
string str; getline( cin, str );
Here's an example "convert to int" function.
CODE
bool to_int( const string& str, const int& i ) { stringstream ss( str ); return ( ss >> i ); }
With the added bonus that it can help you determine whether the user entered a valid number, without worrying about error flags on cin
CODE
int i; if( ! to_int( str, i ) ) { cout << "invalid input\n"; }

Ok I hate to keep bugging the community, you all have been VERY helpful.
2 last things I need help with. I'm getting these errors:

Execution terminated Compilation successful
I'm trying to get it to exit the loop when user enters "no" in the admin option panel. but the program gets stuck in an endless loop. The input loop should only repeat if the user enters "yes" or the value of count is <25 (25 being the max users allowed).
Also I'm not sure as to how to update an entry in an array. I might have missed that day of class. I know how to globally update all elements in the array (ex. corporate wide raises).

Ok, this line has two big problems: if (addRecord = 'YES'). One is that 'YES' shouldn't compile at all, single quote is a character, double is a string, so single around more than one char is not real good.
Your infinite loop comes from the other big problem. The single "=" means you're trying to assign value rather than test value. Try if (addRecord == 'Y') instead and see how far you get.
Although, asking "Would you like to add another record..." is probably bad form. They're preforming a single action and you're slipping another in at the end. It makes more sense just to let them fall back to the menu.
Also, maintaining three separate lists doesn't make as much sense as using a single list of type struct, if you've gotten that far.
