Thanks a lot. it worked like magic. its good cos I don't have to pay extra money for a database

My web hosting plan does not include a database. Is there a way i can get around this? Like upload a .sql file or ms access db into my server and connect to it using php?

I want to execute WordPad using the code below.
It runs fine on my pc. But failed to run on other pcs.

String program = "C:\\Program Files\\Windows NT\\Accessories\\wordpad";
String file = "srcFiles\\Resources\\readme.rtf"; //This is the path to the file i want to open with wordpad.
Runtime  load = Runtime.getRuntime();;
try{
 load.exec(program + " " + file);
 }catch(java.io.IOException ioe){
 System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
 }

Please what am i getting wrong?

so how can i do this?

I created several JComboBoxes using a for loop. I want them to reset when i click the reset button.
But this doesn't work.

These are my codes...

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;

class TryCombo extends JFrame{
 TryCombo(){
 super("Trying JComboBox");
 setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

  JButton but = new JButton("reset");
  but.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
  ComboBox myCombos = new ComboBox();
  myCombos.setSelectedItem("Grades");
  }});

  JPanel pane = new JPanel();
    pane.setLayout(new GridLayout(2,3));
  for(int i = 1; i<=6; i++){
  pane.add(new ComboBox());
  }

  add(pane,BorderLayout.CENTER);
  add(but,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
  pack();
  setVisible(true);
 }

 class ComboBox extends JComboBox implements ItemListener{
 ComboBox(){
 final String[] Grades = {"Grades","A","A-","B+","B","B-","C+","C","C-","D","F"};   
 for(String grades : Grades){
        addItem(grades);
        }
  addItemListener(this);
  }

  public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e){
  Object item = getSelectedItem();
 System.out.println(item);
 }

 }
 public static void main(String[] args){
 new TryCombo();
 }
 }

Can someone help me out here?

@AHarrisGsy... Yes i do.

Thanks, i'm sure you'd help

I'm a rookie in Java. I'm sure with you all, i'd become a Legend.
Peace..

I'm working on a Grade Point Average Calculator.

The user just have to Select the number of courses offered, then select the grade obtain in the different courses by choosing the appropriate grade from the Choice Box.

The problem with my application is that, if the user mistakenly selects "A" instead of "B", then he corrects his mistake by selecting "B", the program sums up all the selections, including the wrong selection. So the calculation ends up being wrong.

Another proble with my application is that, u can't select an item twice. i.e if a user, selects "A" in the first Choice box, he can't select "A" again in the same Choice box, in case he wants to do another calculation.

This is the source code for the gradeChoice class.....

            for(String grades : Grades){
                add(grades);
                }
