declaring arrays classes....

Hi, I'm having problems getting this to work. I have to declare an set of arrays to hold student info.
i have 2 classes, the testing class is the main class, with menu to enter data, search data, exit.
Entering and searching calls the second class.
But here is the problem, the way I have it now, the arrays are created everytime the student class is called.
I'd post the code but its too many lines. So I attached them..
If someone could tell me how'd they'd make this type of app, maybe i'd be able to figure out how I'm going at this wrong.
I'm used to VB programming and JAVA is confusing at times....lol

This code has a huge problem: the Student class has got nothing to do with OOP. I recommend you completly rewrite it. Think object-oriented! And don't use the class name as the name for a static method.

Thanx for your honest criticism....lol j/k
I recently found out that I had been goind about it all wrong.
The probelm is that I think VB not Java...I've only been doing Java for a few months, and my tutor is no help.
If I have any other problems with this, I'll be sure to post...
So you'll probly be hearing from me in a few hrs...lol

That's what I meant. Sorry if it sounded rude.
