Hi Pete

You should not compare Strings with ==. This compares them and returns true if they are the same String rather than having the same value. Try replacing that line and use the String's equals() method like this:

Its better to raise a new thread. A topic name should reflect the question inside the topic. I hope, you would get more results by doing so.
