It seems that I never seem to get pass installing Java on a new operating system without a problem or two. I followed the instructions provide by sun---going to Control Panel and setting the Enviromental Variables etc. But, no luck, I correctly named my file etc. So, it must be my classpaths. Here is what I have: C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin; C:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\bin; C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib The error returned is that it can't find my file. Even though it is in bin. Any Ideas ZanMan

When can't it find the file? When you type it in the console? Example: >javac If javac isn't found then the problem is the path not the classpath.
Hi There: Thanks for repling. I should make a correction the error returned by the compiler is cannot read dan.java. any further ideas?

Where is Dan.java? You should be running the compile from the directory that Dan.java is in. The classpath is used to find classes, not java source files.

add your current directory other wise know in java as the Defualt package to your classpath CLASSPATH = %CLASSPATH%;. <- this dot indicates current direcoty, the %CLASSPATH% is just my shorthand to what ever you had before. so basicaly im saying add a dot(. or ./) to your class path.
