Files appended but not loaded

Question

Hi
I have created a save function in my program to save new data and append it at the end of a single file. Here is the code.
private void SaveActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {//GEN-FIRST:event_SaveActionPerformed
       Vector<PointOnFret> vectorToSave = gPanel1.getFretPointsVector();
       String chordName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter chord name");
       Chord  chordToSave = new Chord();
       chordToSave.setName(chordName);
       chordToSave.setPositions(vectorToSave);
     try{
            FileOutputStream fis = new FileOutputStream(FILENAME,true);           
            ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(fis);           
            out.writeObject(chordToSave);
            out.flush();
            out.close();
     catch(IOException ioException)
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error opening File","Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
    }But I think the save works just fine...
Probably the problem is in the loading of the vector that contains those records in the file.
It loads the name of the first record of the file but does not open it...
private String [] loadChordsVector()
        try
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(FILENAME);
            ObjectInputStream ins = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
            int records  = 0;
            boolean read = true;
             Chord savedChord  = null;
            do
                 records++;
                 savedChord = (Chord)ins.readObject();
                 if(savedChord != null)
                     chords.add(savedChord);
            }while(savedChord == null);
            ins.close();
            System.out.println("Records "+ records);
            String [] chordNames = new String[chords.size()];
            for(int i = 0; i < chords.size(); i++)
                Chord chord = chords.get(i);
                chordNames[i] = chord.getName();
            return chordNames;
        catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(GFriendView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            String[] dummy = {"Test"};
            return dummy;
        catch(IOException ioException)
            ioException.printStackTrace();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error opening File","Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
            String[] dummy = {"Test"};
            return dummy;
    }Can you pls tell me where do you see something wrong?
I'm a bit confused

I don't really understand your problem, but it seems to me your while condition is not logical.
