java:92: cannot find symbol error

[noviceNewbie]

I am sooo new to Java and am under the gun to learn it quickly and mostly on my own - probably not a new story, but it's new for me. :D

Found code on open source forum and modified as a learning tool for me and to record my media collection. When I compile the main() and when I compile the AddEntry() and UpdateEntry() I get the same compile error, but for the life of me I don't see syntax errors:

HERE'S MY ERROR:

************************************************** ****
./MediaCollectionMain.java:92: cannot find symbol
symbol : method setValueAT(java.lang.String,int,int)
location: class javax.swing.JTable
jTable.setValueAT(media.getType(), rowCnt, 0);
^
1 error********************************************* ****


Please advise... source follows.

Thanks,

My MediaCollectionMain() is:

	private javax.swing.JButton jButton2;
	private javax.swing.JButton jButton3;

	private static int rowCnt = 0;
	private static int selectedRow;

	public MediaCollectionMain() {
		jTable = new javax.swing.JTable(new AbstractTable());

		//Table Column size
		javax.swing.table.TableColumn column = null;
		for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
			column = jTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
			if (i == 0) {
				column.setPreferredWidth(10);

Hello and welcome to Java-Forums.org.

When posting code here, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and thus will be readable -- after all, your goal is to get as many people to read your post and understand your code as possible, right?

To do this, highlight your pasted code (please be sure that it is already formatted when you paste it into the forum; the code tags don't magically format unformatted code) and then press the code button, and your code will have tags.

Another way to do this is to manually place the tags into your code by placing the tag [code] above your pasted code and the tag [/code] below your pasted code like so:

[code]
  // your code goes here
  // notice how the top and bottom tags are different
[/code]

You'll also want to post your error messages and somehow indicate to us which line is causing the error.

Luck!

had to step away from it for awhile and come back - it was starring me in the face! setValueAT instead of setValueAt... doh! :p

Cool, glad you solved it yourself!
