    From your comment it appears you are using an incorrect generic type.

    e.g.

    Vector g = new Vector();
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add(1.0f);
g.add(list);

Vector<List<String>> grid = g; // incorrect cast, but only a warning.
String s = g.elementAt(0).get(0); // throws a class cast exception.

    BTW: I have no idea why you would use a combination of elementAt(index) and get(index) as these are the old (pre Java 1.2) and newer styles (post Java 1.2) unless Swing requires it. 😉

    I would use this to reverse an incorrect generic type, although fixing the type would be better.

    List list = (List) data_ForSave.elementAt(r);
String colValue= String.valueOf(list.get(ColValindex));

    as you cannot cast a Float to a String. You can instead turn it into a String.
