[stultuske]

taxAmount = charge * tax;

how do you expect this to work? look at how you declare charge:

double charge;

since charge is a local variable, it doesn't have a default value. and even if it had, that default value would be 0.

so change that line by something like:

double charge = 1.0;

or change that other line by:

taxAmount = value * tax;

or (more likely to be what you want):

use an InputDialog, instead of an OptionDialog. have the value it returns casted to a double, and reference that by charge.

for future reference, it is a lot easier for us to figure out what's going wrong, if you also post the error messages you get.
