Repaint() in JPanel doesn't align correctly

Question

Hey all,
I'm running into this problem with a program I'm writing for work. It's basically a dispatch board which connects to our SQL server via ODBC. When the user presses a "Next" or "Prev" button, the dates will change and show the dispatching for the next or previous week respectively. However, the refreshed components go where they are supposed to, but the old screen is underneath, and shifted slightly so that nothing aligns. In turn, you can make heads or tails as to what's happening. However, if you select File -> Refresh from my menubar (calls repaint() the same way) everything is repainted correctly. Any ideas?

Sorry for the huge chunk of code.
Mm, yes, I'm far too lazy to read all that.
But you should be overriding paintComponent(), not paint().

I've not bothered to work out from that pile of magic numbers exactly what you're tring to draw but is it not something that JTable would happily do?
