    <p>Your loop is executing after entering a three-word phrase because, as Eric mentioned, a <code>'do-while'</code> loop will always execute at least once. The best, simple solution to resolve that issue would be to use a <code>while</code> loop instead, as follows:</p> <pre><code>while(wordCount != 3) { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error, you need to input a 3 word phrase to create a 3 letter acronym." + '\n' phrase = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter a three word phrase");enter code here } </code></pre> <p>A <code>do-while</code> loop performs an action and then checks if it should perform that action again. A <code>while</code> loop checks if it should perform an action first, which is what you want to be doing.</p> <hr> <p>There are also some other significant issues that would be worth resolving at the same time.</p> <p>Your variables <code>word</code> and <code>wordCount</code> are not being updated once the program enters your <code>do-while</code> loop. If a user first enters a three-word phrase, they're fine. If they enter a phrase of any other length the program will loop indefinitely. Since the program is executing the logic inside the <code>do-while</code> loop only, and that does not include saving new words into the variable <code>word</code> or figuring their length an dstoring it in <code>wordCount</code>, there is no way to exit the loop. </p> <p>As a quick fix I added these two lines to solve those issues:</p> <pre><code>word = phrase.split("\\s+"); wordCount = word.length; </code></pre> <p>You could also eliminate the wordCount variable entirely by checking, but I'm honestly not sure if there's value in doing that versus having the variable in use. <code>phrase.split("\\s+").length</code> in the <code>while</code> loop.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
