Generic "Link Error" while working with Netbeans forms
I have inherited a NetBeans project that I must make some changes too. I do not have a ton of experience in NetBeans and I have an issue with the app. The app is basically an attendance system that uses MySQL to store and retrieve data. My issue comes from the initial login form which is Login.java . I am able to successfully login via credentials retrieved from MySQL. However, upon successful login, I receive a generic "Link Error" in the output window with no further explanation. Is this a generic error stating that the next form could not be loaded? I am a little perplexed as to what the actual issue is. After a successful login, Login.java should load Admin_main.java which is the second form. Can anyone shed some light on what may be wrong here? I would really appreciate any help!! The error just does not make any sense to me. Thank you so much in advance!
Update -- Here is the relevant code. Whenever this form runs, it generates a link error. No more info, no less. It's a pretty basic form. I just dont get it.

Here is a screenshot of NetBeans after the error. The link error actually references run.xml like 94 and 111. There is nothing there that I can identify though.
Solution
I didn't see anything inherently wrong with anything.
Since you said that it was an inherited project, and you are getting a link error, I am wondering if one of your libraries is out of date or in the wrong location.
