It seems to be kind of poor not to be able to use switch on a string. If I use the dept number say (0305) instead of the name would this work or would Java freak on the 0 (zero). Our database treats these fields as varchar since the zero in front has meaning to the accounting people.

Can > switch be used on strings --- I have been told yes and no by different people No, afaik the switch statement in Java needs a simple scalar type such as int or char. I suggest you use if...else if.
