Please help.
I hava created a program and want to call the class file to another program I am creating. How do I call it?? I don't want to put both class in one using inheritance.
Thanks for your help.

Judman,

Calling a class from another class(or a program) is as simple as this:public class MyClass
{
public int x = 10;
}

public class MyApplet extends Applet
{
// declare your MyClass Object
MyClass myClass = new MyClass();

public void init()
{
// initialize MyClass
myClass.x = 20;
}
}

Note: The MyClass class should be in a file called MyClass.java and the MyApplet class should be in a file called MyApplet.java.
You should have both files in the same directory OR in your java classpath.

Hope this helps,
