I've been working on this semester project for over two weeks, everyone on here has been very helpful. I've tested it out and it reports no errors. But however, i can not seem to get the values stored in the arrays when calling the separate functions. I tested to see if they were being stored in main after being entered in admin_Options and they show up if I add the code, but when I attempt to pass the arrays to the other functions, I either get garbage or nothing on my screen.
Can someone please overlook this... I've checked my code and can't seem to find where the problem is coming from, but maybe a second pair of eyes can help me find it quicker.

Lots and lots of things going wrong here. Hopefully I can give you a good start on understanding what is going on here. First I am going to assume you are not coding this in a compiler like VC++ because upon running this I kept getting errors referring to your count variable not being initialized before being used. So just for completeness sake, make sure you set your int count = 0;.
So to test your theory about passing arrays, I decided to take the least complex of your functions and used number 4, calculating the lowest salary. Upon looking at the function I noticed it was going to give you bad results just because you were comparing each salary to the lowest and taking the "highest" salary. Remember, to find the lowest it has to be lower than the previous lowest value. So I recoded your lowest salary function to look like this...
CODE
double calcLowSal(double salaries[], int count)//calculates the lowest salary of all paid employees { if (count < 1) { cout << "No Records to display. Try entering employee data first!\n"; system("pause"); return 0.0; }
double lowest = salaries[0];
for (int i=1; i < count; i+=1) { if (salaries[i] < lowest) { lowest = salaries[i]; } }
return lowest; }//end calcLowSal function
As you can see, I immediately test the count value before continuing. If it is less than one, no use going into our loop. I then make sure to return a value of 0.0 if that is the case (make sure all paths of execution result in a return of a result).
I then take the first salary of the salaries array and go into a loop starting from the next salary on comparing it to see if it is LOWER than the previous value. If it is, then I set the lowest to that salary value. At the end, lowest has the lowest value from the salary array.
Ok, with that out of the way, I wanted to see if your salaries array was being passed correctly. Guess what, it is. You salaries array wasn't the problem here. It was your count variable! You added to count in admin_options when you were adding employees, but you forgot one subtle thing... because you have created count in main, you should have passed count by reference so that every time you incremented count in admin_options, it would be reflected back in main. You were adding to a COPY of count in admin_options. So after the function was done, main's version of count was still 0. Then guess what? You passed on count = 0 to your salaries function and your function was screwing up.
So how do we fix this? Simple, your count parameter to admin_options needed an ampersand sign.
CODE
int admin_Options(char empNames[], double salaries[], char depts[], int &count)//options for adding or modifying current employees { .... }
Notice how count has an ampersand in front of the name. This tells the function not to make a copy of count, but use the address of the previous count defined back in main. So when we increment it, we are incrementing the count back in main.
Make sure this change is also reflected in the declaration of the function....
CODE
// Declaration for admin_Options int admin_Options(char [], double [], char [], int &);
Another thing is how you setup your employee names and departments. You created arrays of chars, not an array of character strings. So when you type in the last name of "Doe" it would only take the "D" and throw away the rest.
You need to setup your array of names like so...
CODE
// Create a pointer array of 25 character string pointers char **empNames = new char*[25];
// Set each array pointer to point to a new character string of length 25. for (int i = 0; i < 25; i++) { empNames[i] = new char[25]; }
So what does this mean for your function signatures and declarations? For empName instead of empName[] you will need to have char **empName. Make your declarations match.
Once you do that, you will start seeing your names come out correctly. Btw... after all these fixes mentioned, it looks like it will also fix your listing of employees and some of the other functions are coming online as well. So make the changes and fully test everything. Then you will be ready to continue debugging the rest (like checking empByDept... you use a single = instead of == when checking deptChoice).
The fully modified code is below...

Keep in mind that there is more work to do on this, but this should get you printing output in the correct format and such. Keep up the good work!

Thanks again to Marty for your help. I figured out the problem with entering in the names, now it's working almost flawless, except for the display empByDept. I can seem to parse those records correctly from the array.
Not only that, but only the first character is read. Why's it doing that?
