I'm having trouble getting the program to loop back to the menu once I have created a new computer/customer. Once I figure it out I can do it for all the functions in the menu. This program is not yet complete but any guidance as to why my program won't loop back would be much appreciated. It allows me to carry on and create a new computer/customer but not to go back to main menu to access the other functions like search/match/sort which I still haven't done.

FYI this was done in the latest version of Netbeans (6.8).

You need to place the whole menu handing (from line 22) inside a loop.
Most easily you would use a while(true) { ... } loop, and add a menu option to exit from the program.

Cheers for the reply, I will definitely keep that in mind. I'm sorting out option menu N at the moment because its wrong lol
