I understand what you are trying to do here, but I think where you are going wrong is with the way you are getting the first letter of lastName. I would do something like:
char letter = lastName.charAt(0);
And then you can check to see if letter is greater than M and shoot them into Line 1 otherwise they head on over to Line 2.
Post back if you are still stuck and happy coding,

Your Advice was a success, thanks a lot, I wasn't sure if I could use another variable and I also thought the " .indexOf " got the value of what was in the first cell of the string. Ken Alger
