In your GUI constructor you're using a method initComponents() and that method tries to instantiate an ImageIcon at line #355; that ImageIcon instantiation fails; that's all my crystal ball can tell me.

kind regards,

can anyone help??

Is there an ability to show us the problem piece of code?
It is also possible to get the error if you use too many concat blocks.

NullPointerException (Java Platform SE 6) says

Thrown when an application attempts to use null in a case where an object is required. These include:

    * Calling the instance method of a null object.
    * Accessing or modifying the field of a null object.
    * Taking the length of null as if it were an array.
    * Accessing or modifying the slots of null as if it were an array.
    * Throwing null as if it were a Throwable value. 

Applications should throw instances of this class to indicate other illegal uses of the null object.

analyzing your code you should localize where an object reference points to null. the numbers in the printStackTrace are the line numbers of the code and helps you to find the location where the exception was thrown.
