Hi James, Thanks, I didnt see why it shouldnt take a String for an Object, It accepted the string yesterday. Christmas . . . .does wonders, doesnt it !!!!. But, My JTable still gives a nullpointer exception, to whichever row I try to insert my data into. Should my JTable be initialised to some dummy values or should I specifiy the dimensions of my JTable before hand !!!! Thanks a lot and enjoy your holidays, Rao --- "James H. H.
