Any help is much appreciated

Names = new String[5];

for (int i=0; i<5; i=i+1);
{
Names[i] = GUI.getString("enter names");
i = i + 1;
}

One of the most obvious problems I see is that you are incrementing your counter twice. The following is a more common format for checking the length of the array as well:

   
   String[] Names;
   Names = new String[5];
 
   for(int i=0; i<Names.length; i++)
   {
     Names[i] = GUI.getString("enter names");
   }
