...I'm working on a short assignment for University, and had a pair of classes up and running at school that are doing very basic file I/O operations.

The user is prompted for a relevant filename to open, at which point one of the classes reads from the text file, does some sorting, etc, then displays output text. My Java classes were working at the school, but now having the same files at home has broken the program:

"java.io.FileNotFoundException: names.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)"

I have a really strong feeling that this is a Netbeans specific configuration problem, whereby the "names.txt" file is either not being seen by the executing classes or is somehow inaccessable. Any suggestions where to look in Netbeans if it is indeed "breaking" my code? I'm about 99% certain that it's not a coding error.

Update - I managed to get the file I/O error fixed. I'm going to have to spend some quality time browsing through the Netbeans docs again to make sure that I'm setting up my projects correctly in the IDE.
