#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void printarray (int arg[], int length)
//printarray will print the numbers in the array
 {
  for (int n=0; n<length; n++)
    cout << arg[n] << " ";
  cout << "\n";
}
int MinimumEntry (int a[], int n)
{
  if (n==1) return a[0];
  int result = MinimumEntry(a+1, n-1); // note the a+1 and corrected name
  if (a[0] < result)
    return a[0];
  else
    return result;
}

int main ()
{
  int firstarray[] = {3,2,3,-4,5,6};
  int secondarray[]={ 3,2,3,4,5,6};
  int thirdarray[]={3,2,3,-4,5,6};
  cout<<"First Array is: ";
  cout<<endl;
  printarray (firstarray,6);
  cout<<"Second Array is:";
  cout<<endl;
  printarray(secondarray,6);
  cout<<"Third Array is:";
  cout<<endl;
  printarray(thirdarray,6);
  cout<<endl;
  cout<<"sum of First Array =";
  cout<<endl;
  MininumEntry(firstarray,6);

return 0;
}

Have you used your compiler's debugger? If you wrote the code, then you must (not should, but must) be able to debug yourself if something is not correct.

Visual C++ has a debugger, and you should be using it at all times when you want to figure out why something doesn't work.

At least the name itself.
According to its name in the definition it should be MinimumEntry.
