You've been really helpful, Jim. However, I'm still having difficulty implementing the code that you provided. Basically, I have three text files that I need to import information from and populate textfields with (students.txt, courses,txt and marks.txt). I also need to scroll through records the various records using forward and back JButtons. It feels as though I've tried everything and still can't get this to work!(I'm fairly new to JAVA but am getting a little frustrated). I spent alot of time creating the GUI interface with all the text fields, JButtons, labels, etc. Do you think you can help? Please see my full applet source code below to see what I've completed to date (this code does compile if you want to see the interface):
