I suggest you use code tags:

[code]
put your code here
[/code]

A question would be nice as well. An explanation of what's expected from your program and where it deviates from this expectation would also be welcome.

I see a few thing wrong with these 5 lines near the beginning of main

if (distance = kilometers) /*3 thing wrong here: where is this distance variable declared, what does kilometers equal, and lastly = is not a comparasion, i think you should use ==*/
cout <<" you entered kilometers y/n? "<<answer<<endl; //where is answer declared?
cin >> y;
if (answer = y)/* again, == not =, and you can not compare a non-existant variable to somthing*/
{

im not gonna question the program logic...

the program is meant to calculate distances fro metric to sae and from sae to metric, with the code tags would i place thouse between my if statements and cin statments for each form of mesurements.
@ dong shi
i was wanting to use a bool statement for the question of "did you enter 'such' distance y/n?" but i couldnt get the ones i tryed to work, any sugestions would grately help ty

[sqoobie]

found it at the very end

[dong shi]

so, it works properly now?

No. [code] tags are for forum posts. You put them around your whole code like so:
[code]
int main()
{
return 0;
}
[/code]
which becomes:

int main()
{
   return 0;
}
