    How can the code be compiled and executed for testing? It is incomplete and is missing a main method.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Ok, that compiles and executes. Now what is needed to see the problem?

    Default Re: Help with Scroll PAne

    If you compile and execute program, and click Previous Customer Tab, search for contact, I have a JTextArea box displayed. I want to attach a JScrollPane top this TextArea box.

    In the code the text area box is searchResults, and the ScrollPane is sp. I can not seem to write the code in a way that the scroll bar is correctly displayed in the GUI. I am not sure what I am missing.

    Is it something Im not coding correctly in my action listener method? Or some type of typo Im not seeing...

    		gbc.gridx = 0;
    		gbc.gridy = 2;
    		sp = new JScrollPane(searchResults, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
    		sp.setBounds(0, 0, 100, 100);
    		panel2.add(sp, gbc);
    		panel2.add(searchResults, gbc);

    something Im not coding correctly
    The first thing I see is the component: searchResults being added to more than one container. A component can only be in one container.

    I made this change to allow for testing:
    //	    searchedContacts = readRecord(tfContactFirstName.getText().toUpperCase(), tfContactLastName.getText().toUpperCase(), tfContactEmail.getText().toUpperCase());
                searchedContacts.add("adasds\ndaddsd\n3333\n44444\n5555\n6666\n7777");   //>>>>>>>>> ADDED for testing
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I thought potentially that could be an issue. How ever even when I only attached searchedResults to sp, and not add searchedResults to panel2 component it still does not display. I am driving myself nuts trying to figure out the cause behind not being able to add a simplistic scroll pane.

    I think a problem is with the use of setVisible to hide/show components. It may be confusing the layout manager.
    I think a better solution would be to use CardLayout to swap between showing an input panel and the results panel.

    Ok, I will give that a try. Now that I have you on the phone, over all the rest of program looks solid? Or do you have suggestions tips on any thing that may help myself on my development?

    One comment on the code: many lines are too long. They should be folded so all of the statement can be seen on the screen without having to scroll right-left.

    Was able to fix by adding this line of coding.

    				searchedContacts = readRecord(tfContactFirstName.getText().toUpperCase(),
    						tfContactLastName.getText().toUpperCase(), tfContactEmail.getText().toUpperCase());
     
    				lblContactFirstName.setVisible(false);
    				tfContactFirstName.setVisible(false);
    				lblContactLastName.setVisible(false);
    				tfContactLastName.setVisible(false);
    				lblContactEmail.setVisible(false);
    				tfContactEmail.setVisible(false);
    				searchContacts.setVisible(false);
    				searchResults.setVisible(true);
    				searchAgain.setVisible(true);
     
     
    				searchResults.setEditable(false);
     
    				for(int i = 0; i < searchedContacts.size(); i++) {
    					searchResults.append(searchedContacts.get(i) + " ");
    				}
    				sp = new JScrollPane(searchResults, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED,
    						JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
     
    				gbc.gridx = 0;
    				gbc.gridy = 0;
    				gbc.ipadx = 400;
    				gbc.ipady = 225;
    				panel2.add(sp, gbc);
    				repaint();
