I honestly don't know where to begin with your problem.  If you were to
upload your applet Java class to the borland.public.attachments group I
could probably take a look, time permitting.  However, feel free to
print out this message and show it to your boss.  Worst case, print it
out and show it to your boss when he/she tells you that you're fired
for not fixing the problem.

Programming is an engineering discipline.  The barrier to entry is
lower than it is for most other engineering disciplines, but it still
requires time to acquire even the most basic knowledge necessary to be
effective in any manner whatsoever.

To your boss I would ask this:

Would you trust a sales rep with no automotive experience to fix your
car?

Would you trust a secretary with no carpentry experience to build a
deck?

Would you trust a manager with no plumbing experience to fix a leak
behind the wall of the basement?

and finally...

Would you trust a programmer with no marketing experience to write a
marketing plan?
