}// End MainSo, what is going on is that once the program reaches the end of the newEntry method the next time an in.nextLine or whatever the type is (nextInt for example), instead of asking for the user to input the data, it passes the line as if the user has.
This results in the first name of the entry always being blank after the first entry. I have tried several things, such as commenting off various code lines and in.next commands, but it has persisted.
Before I made some changes the code used to go back out to the main method each time one entry was made. While in the main class in.next works correctly in this case, but as soon as we re-enter the menuOptions class it also did the above, which leads me to think that my code is causing it.
I have about 2 weeks worth of experience in Java, so I can not figure out where the problem is, can anyone spot it?
