JTable update (urgent!)

[PriyaRajan]

Dear friends,
I have a Jtable in a JPanel. Another panel contains textfields.Two panels are within JFrame.when the table is updated and fireTableChanged() is called, the table updates data.
The problem is if focus is on another window, I am not able to see the updated data in the table. Only when I click on the JFrame I see the updated table.but when the textfield is changed it automatically shows the new value, even when focus is on another window.
how to show the updates in the table when focus is on another window?
Thank u
Priya
