Ok. Try again. I was well off the mark earlier. :o|
In the example the AddressBook is self populating, it doesnt exist and isnt
populated until I run GetAddress... (is this right?).
What I want to do is remove the creation of AddressBook, (and its
population), into a separate class that I can run (with a main method) so I
know the AddressBook exists and is populated. So I've removed the addEntry
lines from AddressBook constructor, so I can do it in my own separate class.
Then I want to run GetAddress and talk to *that* AddressBook that I've
already created and populated, but it tells me the AddressBook is null, IE
it cant find the one that I've just created.....
Thanks hugely again for any help...
Cheers.
