sounds like you got a lot of catchin'-up to do. In this situation (as usual) there are many ways to skin the cat. What approach die the Instructor recommend? Are you allowed to use any available prefabbed libraries?

I would probably start with AWT. Does AWT ring a bell?

There may be more to learn here than programming. The perils of procrastination, partying, and panty raid distractions may be one of them. Can't say for sure, of course, but 23 programs sounds like something that would have been assigned in advance with at least sufficient time allotted.

Dont think I know of AWT, thanks for the link though stevengs - most helpful

The original assignment was to write three rather complex programs but I fell behind mid term on three assignments from other modules and so had to decide which ones to focus on, this one being my worst as my programming skills are fairly poor I decided to pass the others and unfortunately failed this one. But my re-assignment caught me off guard instead of writing three programs I now have to write twenty three

Thus far I have written 10 of them, and started all but four. The deadline is end of the month but I have a lot of travelling to do this month and a few other various time consuming obligations (though obviously this takes priority).

(Toggle Plain Text)

   {   signOffField.setText("Thankyou");
       
   }
}}

Btw, your braces are still somewhat misaligned in that last proggy. Nothing critical, but you start a block for no apparent reason (unless i am missing something). I believe this is what you want:

(Toggle Plain Text)

   signOffField.setText("Thankyou");
}

Hehe... if I were to be ugly, I might guess that you had just deleted braces until the compiler stopped complaining instead of studying the logic of the program and then correcting the syntax. But I reckon I aught ta go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt...
