There's no method "getString()" or "getString(String)" in Vector. If item 27 in a Vector is known to be a String, you can say

String temp = (String) names.get(27);

But I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the String "employee_name"; is that intended to be an argument to a method of some object that's in the Vector?

If you can explain in a little more detail what exactly is in the vector, and what you want to do, I'm sure we can help you figure this out.
