Ok I have to create a program with a loop and switch that has 4 options. Write a name to file, Read name from file, Clear name from file, and Close the program.
I am getting a truck load of errors...

This is what you get for declaring multiple variables per statement.

Look at the end of line 15. See what the problem is?

Ok I think I fixed what you mean about line 15. But Im still getting a buttload of errors!!

You have 3 different variables called name. Which is illegal. As case labels works like goto labels, you are not allowed to jump past variable declarations in current scope.

Solution will be either move name declaration before switch, or create unique scope for each case:

case CHOICE_1:
{ //Creating new scope
	string name;

	outputFile.open("names.txt", ios::app);

	cout << "Add a Name to File." << endl;
	cout << "Enter a name: ";
	cin >> name;
	break;
} //New scope ended
case CHOICE_2: //Etc...
