    Default Re: object not accessible

    There is no way for another class to reference an object it has no knowledge of (ie. in another class). You must somehow pass that object to your sd class. Also, as a side note in this case it isn't necessary to create a new action listener for each component. This makes your code somewhat sloppy and also wastes memory.

    public class sd
    {
         private JTextField field;
         public sd(JTextField textField)
         {
              this.field = textField;
         }
     
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
         {
              String se = e.getActionCommand();
              try
              {
                   t1.setText("You pressed " + se);
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                   System.out.println("Error");
              }
         }
    }

    // where adding the action listener
    sd actionListener = new sd(t1);
    B1.addActionListener(actionListener);
    B2.addActionListener(actionListener);
    B3.addActionListener(actionListener);
    B4.addActionListener(actionListener);
    B5.addActionListener(actionListener);
    B6.addActionListener(actionListener);
    B7.addActionListener(actionListener);
    B8.addActionListener(actionListener);
    B9.addActionListener(actionListener);

    As a side note, I would strongly recommend choosing variable names that would be meaningful not only to you, but also to others who would read your code. Choose names that represent what that variable contains, being descriptive yet some-what brief. See the variable names I chose as an example.
