Where is your Account class code?

Also, please use [code] tags, since they make the code much easier to read.

[husky]

here is my account class

public class Account {

//Attributes
private String acctNum;
private String name;
private String phoneNum;
private double balance;
private boolean activeStatus;

public Account() //constructor
{
}

//Setters
public Account (String acctNum, String name, String phoneNum, double balance)
{
this.acctNum = acctNum;
this.name = name;
this.phoneNum = phoneNum;
this.balance = balance;
activeStatus = true;
}
public Account (String acctNum, String name, String phoneNum, double balance, boolean activeStatus)
{
this.acctNum = acctNum;
this.name = name;
this.phoneNum = phoneNum;
this.balance = balance;
this.activeStatus = activeStatus;
}

//Account getters
public String getAcctNum()
{
return acctNum;
}

public String getName()
{
return name;
}

public String getPhoneNum()
{
return phoneNum;
}

public double getBalance()
{
return balance;
}

public boolean getActiveStatus()
{
return activeStatus;
}

//transactions
public double query(String acctNumber)
{
return balance;
}

public void deposit(double amount)
{
balance += amount;
}

public void withdraw(double amount)
{
balance = balance - amount;
}

//toString
public String toString()
{
String output = "\n\nAccount[" + "customerName = " + name + ", accountNumber = " + acctNum +
"\n phoneNumber = " + phoneNum + ", balance = " + balance + ", activeStatus = " + activeStatus + "],";
return output;
}

}

You're working in Eclipse, right? Well, Eclipse says "The constructor Account(String, String, String, String, String) is undefined" (and it is).

Check the type for balance and activeStatus. In your code, these are Strings, but you need a double and boolean, respectively.

[husky]

i re-initialize in LordStoreAccts class as

String aRecord;
String accountNumber, customerName, phoneNumber, balance, activeStatus;
StringTokenizer strings;

i think i dont use rite method to create the arraylist. im new to java.
pls help
thx

Right, the problem is that your balance needs to be a double, and activeStatus needs to be a boolean, since these are the types that your constructor expect.

In your code, you read both values from the StringTokenizer, so you get a String value. You need to convert from a String to the correct type.
