I have included a portion of my code below. The problem that is driving me
crazy is that the first time thru the loop everything works fine but the
second time thru the loop the program just goes by the scanf statement. Could
someone please enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Where is the portion of your code?
Actually it's better to use fgets to read stuff and then disect it with
sscanf. Or if you insist on scanf you could read an int with the following
int num;
scanf("%d%*[^\n]\n",&num);
to read a character
char ch;
scanf("%c%*[^\n]\n",&ch);
this ensures that no garbage is left lying around after calling scanf

I can answer your problem if you post the source code next time. :)
