The problem im having with my program is that. After i type the students name it, press return, its goes down not across to the next title. DOB and then to TEST1 etc.

/* Header.c */
#include <stdio.h>

//////////////// Prototypes /////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void OutputHeader();
void Variable();
void Student();


//////////////////////// Global Variables //////////////////
int EeCode;
float StudentsName, DOB, Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4, Average, Grading, SumOfMarks, Exit;
int Pass, Merit, Distinction, Fail, y=2;
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void main (void)
{
	 OutputHeader();
	 Variable();
	 gotoxy(1,y);
	 scanf("%d",&EeCode);
		while (EeCode !=0)
		{
			Student();
			y++;
			gotoxy(1,y);
			scanf("%d", EeCode);
		}









getch();

}

///////////////////////////////// My Functions ///////////////////////////////////

void OutputHeader()
	{
	clrscr();
	 gotoxy(1, 1);
	printf("Students Name  D.O.B   Test 1  Test 2  Test 3  Test 4   Average  Grading");
	}


void Variable()
	{
	Pass=0;
	Merit=0;
	Distinction=0;
	Fail=0;
	}

void Student()
	{
	gotoxy(16, y);
	scanf("%f", &DOB);
	gotoxy(24, y);
	scanf("%f", &Test1);
	gotoxy(32, y);
	scanf("%f", &Test2);
	gotoxy(40, y);
	scanf("%f", &Test3);
	gotoxy(48, y);
	scanf("%f", &Test4);

	 /* CalcAverageMark */
	 SumOfMarks = Test1 +Test2 + Test3 + Test4;
	 Average = SumOfMarks / 4;
  gotoxy(53, y);  printf("%6.0f\n", Average);
	}

Search through recent posts in this forum for the proper use of scanf. Hint: most people's names cannot be successfully converted to a floating point number.

That said, aside from defining the name as a float, I don't see where you're actually asking for it. As an aside, I trust you realize that your use of screen-positioning functions is non-portable code.
