Este é um problema muito estranho, quando meu programa solicita ao usuário o endereço, em vez de aguardar a entrada, parece ignorar completamente a função getline ()

Answerinput:

cout << "would you like to add another entry to the archive? (Y/N):";

cin >> answer;

cout << endl;
cout << endl;

answer = toupper(answer);


 switch(answer)
    {
    case 'Y':
        Entrynumber++;

        cout << "began record number " << Entrynumber << "+ 1." << endl;

        cout << "Enter the last name of the person to be entered" << endl;

        cin >> stringentry;
        cout << endl;

        stringlength = stringentry.length();

        strcpy(Record[Entrynumber].Last_Name, stringentry.c_str());


        Record[Entrynumber].Last_Name[stringlength] = '*';



        cout << "Enter the first name of the person" << endl;

        cin >> stringentry;

Cin.getline () e getline () fazem a mesma coisa.

Estou usando o MVC ++ 2008.

Todos os campos da matriz Record são estruturas, Record [Entrynumber] .Address é uma matriz char.
