Default Error Messages when Compiling...

Please Login to Remove!

I'm experiencing difficulty compiling a Mortage Loan Calculator that I want to convert from an Excel file that I've been using for several months, to my Blackberry, and I really need some help to understand and to resolve the problems.

I'm trying to learn BB Java and have spent a lot of time going over the API and trying to find some samples, but without some help from someone who understands the process, it is difficult and extremely frustrating.

As an aid to understanding what I am trying to do, I've included a notation showing the calculations that I am trying to create as well as an sample user input with the expected results in my Main Screen,

Here's the application as well as a copy of the error messages I'm receiving when I attempt to compile the application.

Thank you for your help!!

I believe that this:

new EditField("Applied to Interest: $" , + ee);

should have been:

new EditField("Applied to Interest: $" + ee);

The error message tells the story: there is no constructor for EditField that takes a String and a Double as arguments.
