Ok I had posted a thread before with a different problem, and so I thought it might be best to start a new thread...

I am getting an error now that on line 60 insertString cannot be applied to that becuase its an int, but I am trying to use the valueOf method to return a string value from its int argument...so I am really confused!
Thanks for anyones help

Not sure, but I think you need a third parameter in your call to insertString. The Java API says that insertString takes an int, a String and an AttributeSet parameter, so I would check that first.

Thought that the attribute set parameter would be optional and only used if I was using styles....

Nope, it's not optional. If it were optional in Java another method would be defined, insertString(int, String).

you have to change the code lik this:
doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "\t" + String.valueOf(grades[j]) + "\n",null);

but you still have another error because of calling a non static variables (numberOfGrades,total) from static context.

it is possible to have one more error at run time and it could be related to synchronization (but not sure) just try it.
