Good evening,
I am trying to simply open a folder located on my local C:\ drive, to be exact just for testing purposes I am trying to open C:\temp folder.
What I have is a JFrame with a single Jbutton and some code, however when I execute the button, nothing absolutely nothing happens, it doesn't crash, it doesn't open a folder, it doesn't give me a message error.
line 65 to 85 is where my code resides.
under the "private void jButton1ActionPerformed" I call a "OpenMain();" method which I define right under that starting on line 69.
I would definitly appreciate some help,
John
