NullPointerException Error

[Lost Prophet]

Hi

Im having a problem with some code. Originally, the application was set into three packages (script, gui and control). I have changed is so there is a fourth called 'report'. Whenever I call upon anything in the report package though, there is a NullPointerExce ption for the 'report' variable (which identifies the location of the report. The below part is where the problem occurs:

private void injuriesMouseCl icked(java.awt. event.MouseEven t evt)
{
Injuries = true;

report.reportIn fo();
}

In the above part both the report and Injuries variables are populated with the correct information

In some circumstances (this is the wierd thing), the reportInfo class is accessed, but when I try to retrieve the value of 'report' to check the value, the execution refuses to print out anything in the report.reportIn fo class. But when I print out a random bit of text it prints it out fine. Whenever I try both it does nothing!! The code in report.reportIn fo is below:

public class ReportData implements ScriptThread, Runnable
{
private DCWorkbenchGUI gui;
private VppController control;
private ComplexScript script;

//state variables for the script
public int publicDisorder = 0;
public int soldierInjuries = 0;
public int publicInjuries = 0;
public int civilanFireInju ries = 0;
public int civilanFireFata lities = 0;
public int soldierFataliti es = 0;
public int suspectApprehen sion = 0;
public int baseDamage = 0;
public int pressCoverage = 0;

/**
* Constructor for the ReportData thread
*
* @param g the gui
* @param c the controller
* @param s the script
*/
public ReportData(DCWo rkbenchGUI g, VppController c, ComplexScript s)
{
gui = g;
control = c;
script = s;
}

/**
* This method is that which will be invoked when the method is called upon
*/
public void run()
{
reportInfo();
}

/**
* Method to represent the action for the report information
*/
public void reportInfo()
{
System.out.prin tln("reportInfo : ");
if (gui.Injuries = true)
{
String Injuries = ("Soldier Injuries (max 27): " + soldierInjuries +"\n" +
"Public Injuries (max 20): " + publicInjuries +"\n" +
"Civilian Emergency Services Injuries (max 10): " + civilanFireInju ries);

//display info dialog to the user
gui.scenInfo("T he following information has been found by your assistant \n"+ Injuries,
"General Information",
script.currentT imeInSecs());
gui.Injuries = false;
}


EndReport();

}
}
