Hello Gray1306,
It is always helpful to post the full errormessage. It always contains important information. But in this case: the error is on elif. So look: where is the if it belongs to?

[gray1306]

hi the error message is;

File "c:\users\windows\mu_code\games_database1.py", line 67
elif selected_option == 2:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>

and the if is on line 29, is it to do with the indent?

[ibreeden]

Please use BBcode. There is a button to insert error messages.
As I said before: there is no if before the elif. That is the error.

Yes, it has to do with indents. Your code is doing this:

if (selected_option == 1)
{
import csv;
}

All the stuff between lines 31 through 66 is outside the "if" statement because of how it is indented.
