The differe is the filename. I think you written the first into the FirstApplet.java, and the second FirstApplet2.java for example. But in java, if you write public class, the holder source file name must be the same with the class name. In the second the class name must be FirstApplet2.<br><br>Good luck. Bye, Otto.<br>
