If this is what you're ferring to

csharp

public Order( decimal initialBalance )
{
        Balance = initialBalance; //initial order balance
}


Well you're getting that message because, I believe this is your class constructor, your class is named Orders and here you have Order, meaning the compiler is expecting something that returns a type order, which ould be something like

csharp

public Order GetNewOrder( decimal initialBalance )
{
        Balance = initialBalance; //initial order balance
}


Notice it returns an Order type but is named GetNewOrder. So change it to this and your error should go away

csharp

public Orders( decimal initialBalance )
{
        Balance = initialBalance; //initial order balance
}

If you don't want a method to return anything, you have to specify a return type of void. So it would look like
csharp

    public void Order( decimal initialBalance )
    {
        Balance = initialBalance; //initial order balance
    }

However, If that is supposed to be your constructor, like you said, then all you have to do is change it's name to the name of the class.

thank you SO much. That was bugging me the last 48 hours. I just couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why that was happening.

Thanks for your response. The two of you have been so helpful
