access textfield outside Jtable

what about tf.setText((String)table.getValueAt(row,column)) ?

jsridhar: can u post comments?

the textfield is in a different pane from the table.When I try to settext for the text field I get runtime errors. I've got the total, I just need to display it.

post ur code

Here's the code. I've commented out the settext portion.
