Answer 1

take a look at the constructors of the classes searchbook and searchmember
when basicaly you have multipls of following code
Component comp = someComponent();
setBounds(blah, blah, blah...);
add(comp);the problem is in the set bounds call you are setting the bounds of the container not the component so the code should be corrected as
Component comp = someComponent();
comp.setBounds(blah, blah, blah...);
add(comp);And please use code tags when you post codes. It is very deficult to read the code without them fortunetly for you I was in a strange mode so I read your code and that will not happen next time
