you have defined the class name as projectta but elsewhere you have used it as Projectta.
java is case sensitive..if i remember right..
change either one and the error should go away
meaning use either projectta or Projectta everywhere
not both
also make sure that the file name you save in is the same as the name of the public class that is projectta or Projectta

Either you haven't got the case sensitivity right as the person above suggested, or the jvm/jre is not looking in the right directory. I would think it's the first.

I'd go with it being the capitalized class name in main and lowercase in his declaration. BTW...common java practice is to capitalize class names, so you might want to change it above instead of just changing it in the main. And if it stil doesn't work make sure you have the file name Projectta.java (it has to match the class name).

I really do appreciate you guys help. Thank you!

I appreciate your help. Thank you

i am happy to be a member of this community. recently, i encountered some problems while i was working on a project, along the line, i thiught i should let my problems be known to the community.

The project has to be database driven application. here,i need to use a particular existing record to QUERY as per say, to retrieve the details of that record as long as it exists in the database.

please looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible.

Start your own thread. And then, state what the actual problem is (i.e. compiler/error messages or actual vs. expected results), don't just say what the end result should be and then dump alot of code. We are not going to even try to decipher it, in that case.
