When this error occurs, it's usually because either the java file is named wrong such as UseEmployeeWithDate.java.txt (which can occur if your using notepad), you saved it with wrong case UseEmployeewithDate.java or you have saved it in a different directory.
Hope this helps

Thanks Carl - I didn't do anything with notepad...nothing unusual when I created the class....so I copied my code into another newly named member....changed the name within and it worked fine......something was definitely wrong.....but it worked and I am HAPPY!!!
 
Can you hear that? That's my theme music. I don't know where it comes from. Check under this tiny ad:
