[mooey1232003]

Hi i need help implementing JDBC in my program. The program stores info in a data file but i want it to save to a MS Access and also be able to read in the access file from the program.
Thanks.

Using JDBC is simple.

1. Convert your data file into database tables and store it seprately.
2. Access data on database using JDBC.

Here is a good tutorial for JDBC.

Please write content of InfoBook.java here. (Place the code inside [code] tags.)

As far as i see, line 1027 is the line below:

Code:

String lblFirstName = txtFirstName.getText ();

The lines below are similar. I think your txtFirstName object is null there. You can check if it is null or not as follows:

Code:

if (txtFirstName == null) System.out.println("txtFirstName is null");

There should be some null objects there since NullPointerException occurs when you try to access properties or methods of a null object.
