here is a fragment of the code

   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
      try{
         //Object source = ae.getSource();
         Object source = ae.getSource();
         if(source==one){
            this.dispose();
            new UpdateMenu().setVisible(true);
         }

         JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)ae.getSource();
 String items = (String)cb.getSelectedItem();
 if(items == "Delete All")
         {
    final JOptionPane option = new JOptionPane("all items will be deleted are usure? ", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
            final JDialog dialog = new JDialog();
    dialog.setContentPane(option);
    option.addPropertyChangeListener( new PropertyChangeListener(){
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent pe){
   String prop = pe.getPropertyName();
   if(dialog.isVisible() && pe.getSource() == option 
      && (prop.equals(JOptionPane.VALUE_PROPERTY)))
                   {
      dialog.setVisible(false);
                   }
}
});

 
dialog.pack();
dialog.setVisible(true);
int value = ((Integer)option.getValue()).intValue();
if(value == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
        {
           txtlabel.setText("DELETED");
   Deleterecord();
   delrec.executeUpdate("DELETE * FROM Sales");
        }

If the exception gets thrown before you reach the logic that deletes a record, catching the exception makes no difference. You need to figure out first where the exception occurs, and remove it so your method can run to completion.
