    Simple but i cant figure it out or just plain dont know why....
    In college but havent had to look at java in a while.

    public double blance(String nm){
     for(int j = 0; j < nameID.length; j++){
          if(nm == name[j])
               return bal[j];          
     }
     return defaultBal;
}

    Now... Why does the default value (defaultBal) get returned?
    I have narrowed the problem down to here... every thing else is working.

    name[j] is a String? In that case you need to compare nm.equals(name[j]), otherwise you are checking to see is it the same Object, not an equivilant String.
