    deleteRow();            }


    private void deleteRow() 
      {
        dtm = (DefaultTableModel)myjtable.getModel();`EXCEPTION AT THIS LINE `
        int r=myjtable.getSelectedRow();

        String str=myjtable.getValueAt(r,0).toString();


        int row=dtm.getRowCount();     

        try  
        { 
            RandomAccessFile r1=new RandomAccessFile("C:\\Myfile.txt","rw");
            RandomAccessFile r2=new RandomAccessFile("C:\\TempFile.txt","rw");

            for(int i=0;i<row-1;i++)
            {   

             String str1=r2.readLine().trim();

My guess is that you are shadowing the myjtable variable. This means you defined it as an instance variable in your class and as a local variable somewhere in your code. So you probably have code something like:

JTable myjtable;  // the instance variable
.
.
.
.
JTable myjtable = new JTable(...); // local variable

You don't want a local variable so the code should be:

myjTable = new JTable(...);
