I am going crazy over this....need help please !!!

Question

I have one textfield and one combobox and a button. When the button is pushed, if there is textfield is blank and the combobox is set to "Make a Selectio.." I want to see a JOption message. Here is what I have but my combobox is not working. I get a compile time error. I think I need to declare "getSelectionItem" somewhere but where and how......, that I don't know.
if (source == DataFind)
try
//Create Statement object
Statement s = c.createStatement();
String query = "SELECT * FROM Data";
if (txtName.getText().trim().equals("") &&
txtID.getText().trim().equals("") &&
cmbColor.getSelectedItem.equals("Make a Selection.....")])
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You must ....!", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
else
String Name = "WHERE Name = '" + txtName.getText() + "'";
//Create the ResultSet object
ResultSet result = s.executeQuery(query);
char Color;
int ID;
while (result.next())
Name = result.getString(1);
Color = result.getString(2).charAt(0);
ID = result.getInt(3);
output.setText(Name + " " + Color + " " + ID);
}

With only a quick look, could the square bracket be the compile problem?
cmbColor.getSelectedItem.equals("Make a Selection.....")])
