Really apprecitae your time in trying to help =)
1st time asking a qn in Forum. So forgive me if i'm doing smt wrong.. :P
Thanks.. =)

[angryboy]

i will look over you code, in the mean time...
please edit your OP to use code tags like this

[code]
codes here
...
[/code]

[angryboy]

getJContentPane(): you have alot of space typo.

is this the complete code? i'm getting symbol not found.
one of them is: getJJMenuBar()

[ara]

oh... nono... its not... :S .. I removed the properties for the JMenuBar and JMenu Items and all... 'cos i didnt think it was of any use... as in nothing would go wrong in there right?... i just posted the codes where there would be probable errors... (hope u know wat i'm trying to say... :S)

[angryboy]

take a look at submitLogin().
ap.jFrame.setVisible(true);

isn't it suppose to be:
ap.getJFrame().setVisible(true);

[ara]

actually i've tried this b4... But there was error when i tried that... Here's the error:
"The method getJFrame() from the type adminPanel is not visible"

[angryboy]

did u make it public? it worked for me when i changed it to public in adminPanel.

[angryboy]

if you want to open in the same frame, you'll have to rewrite your code in a different way.

[ara]

public class adminPanel {

	public JFrame jFrame = null;  //  @jve:decl-index=0:visual-constraint="91,33"
	private JPanel jContentPane = null;

the adminPanel jFrame is in public.. from the above code... (hope i'm saying relevant thing :S...) Right?..

****
And no... i dont want it to be shown in the same window...)

[angryboy]

no not the class, the method getJFrame() is private.
it'll work when you make it public.
