Beginner here :)

Im trying to do just that...have the user enter an integer into the
dialog box...

my code is:
...

int invQty;

invQty = JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null, "What is the quantity of
\"" + invName + "\"?","Enter Quantity", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

...

I get an incompatible type error...  it seems
JOptionPane.showInputDialog  only accepts strings?

Thanks :)
