please post the program and tell what the problem is

Never, ever suggest that! Some people will post the entire application - ask instead for just the relevant code fragments.

No! First, is this a compiler error or a run-time error? If run-time then identify where the problem occurs, what is going wrong and what you expect to happen. Post only the lines of code relevant to the problem and make sure you show where the problem is happening.

Don't post the whole program - just the relevant code fragment around the error (the whole method, if it is small).
And the error message if any, and a description of what you do to cause the error.

Yes, you may post the (hopefully short) program or the relevant code: we might help you to identify and fix the error(s).
Be sure to detail what should be the expected behaviour and what is the observed one.

heh, you preempted part of my response by improving the post!

Anyway, have a +5 for your solution and improvements.

Sorry, I had to: there's a happy-Q&A-killer around. On the serious side, I think this way the question is more useful for other folks.

shall i post the program?
No. Only the part of the program that causes the error(s), and maybe declarations for types and variables that are used there. Of course, if the whole program is only about 50 lines or less then just go ahead.

You also should clarify what error you get, i. e. the exact error message (if any), and the location in your program that it refers to. (if you can find that info). If there are multiple errors, just post the first two or three - there's a big chance later errors are just a consequence of the early ones, and they may vanish (or turn into different errors) after fixing the first ones.

Please use the green link Improve question at the lower right of your posting to edit your question and add this info.

can u identify the errors for me?
Once you give us the above info to work on, we will certainly try.

plz???
You're welcome. That's what this place is for.

That said, I'll give you a friendly piece of advice: overuse of leetspeak, lolcat or other forms of mutilations of the english language tends to annoy some people. That includes improper use of punctuation marks or using all upper or lower case. In case of this posting, omitting 'plz???' might have left a better impression even though you might consider it an expression of politeness. Saying 'please' is appreciated but not neccessary. Saying 'plz???' is neither, but might be considered childish.

In short, using proper language, spelling and grammar is more likely to get you useful responses.
