yes, Select.class is another one of my files.  throughout my app there
are a few different calls to it, all done the same way i.e. "Intent i
= new Intent(this, Select.class); startActivity(i);"


No where in Select.class do I make a call to start Select.class or
Sheet.class.  When its done it calls finish();


in the onCreate() of Select.class I grab the extras from the invoking
class with this line of code:

public class Select extends ListActivity{

        DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this);
        String slotName = null;

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

                  db.open();

                  ListView list = getListView();

                  View v = View.inflate(this, R.layout.list_header, null);
                  list.addHeaderView(v, null, false);

                  name = this.getIntent().getStringExtra(DBAdapter.KEY_NAME);
        }

Could it be something in the .getIntent() method?  or
the .getStringExtra()?
