*None of the buttons except create and clear work can someone help please , can anyone help me with the parts i have missing , the account and date test class work fine i just need the bank account GUI to work properly , here is a detailed explanation of what the program should do

Bank account GUI
Add a new Account
• Display information on an account neatly (search using account number). Having located an account one could update or delete it.
• Display all accounts held by a customer, one at a time (search using name). You could press next to see the next account for that person. Having located a particular account one could update or delete it.
• Delete an account entirely
• Update the account information
• Add monthly interest to all accounts.
• Print information for all accounts neatly, with appropriate headers, to a tab separated file, readable by a spreadsheet such as Excel or OpenOffice Calc.
• Exit the system

Dude please wrap your code in the

format so it is easier to read first of all and from just scanning through it. It seems you are missing the buttons call to your buttonlistener.

E.g

Create button
Create Listener
Call listener when button is clicked button.Listner()

Thanks for helping i really need and appreciate it

ACCOUNTS CLASS

public class Account {
  // Instance variable 
  private double balance;
  
  String acctNumber ; 

   String dateOpened;
   String custID ; 
   int amountInArray;

  // Constructor 1 (for initial deposit accounts)
  public Account(String acctNum , double bal , String date , String custid) {
           acctNumber = acctNum;
           balance = bal ; 
           date = dateOpened ; 
           custID = custid ; 
  }


 //get the account number
 public String getacctNumber() {
    return acctNumber;
  }
  
  
   //get the account number
 public String getcustid() {
    return custID;
  }

  //get account balance
  public double getBalance() {
    return balance;
  }
  
    public String getacctDate() {
    return dateOpened;
  }
   //close account

}

DATE TEST CLASS , THIS IS ONLY USED TO VERIFY THE DATE ENTERED IS IN CORRECT FORMAT NO NEED TO LOOK THREW THIS JUST COPY AND PASTE IN IN A CLASS SO THE BANK ACCOUNT PROGRAM WORKS

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;

public class DateTest {

  public boolean isValidDate(String inDate) {

    if (inDate == null)
      return false;

    //set the format to use as a constructor argument
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    
    if (inDate.trim().length() != dateFormat.toPattern().length())
      return false;

    dateFormat.setLenient(false);
    
    try {
      //parse the inDate parameter
      dateFormat.parse(inDate.trim());
    }
    catch (ParseException pe) {
      return false;
    }
    return true;
    
 
  }
 
  
}

THIS IS THE BANK ACCOUNT CLASS , i did make the call to the listeners read threw the code and you'll see , now my problem is that none of the buttons are working the way they should. If you can help me to get the interest button working that would be perfect then i would be able to do the rest by myself. I want to be able to create an account , write the account information to a text file and use the interest button to read the information on the file and add a percentage interest to the balance of all the accounts written to the file.

sorry about the crappy wording above ,

the date and accounts class work fine , i only need help with the add interest button , i want to be able make and account then write the information to a text file, and later when the interest button is clicked it should read the information from the text file and add a percentage interest to it. if you can help me to get the interest button working properly i should be able to fix the rest by myself

in confused what promgram i will copy, can somebody write this program again? so that i will know what program i will use

what program you are going to copy? how about 'none', write your own. about everyone here can re-write this application, but why should we? we don't need it.

what are we supposed to know what (kind of) program you want to use, you didn't even bother to mention what kind of program you're looking for, or what you want to do with it.

if you didn't notice it: this website is for developers to help other developers to imrpove their coding skills, it's not a 24/7 programming services, we are not "developers-for-rent".

1. start your own thread, don't revive one that hasn't been posted in for years
2. explain what you want to achieve
3. show us the code you've written so far, do not expect us to go and do it for you.
