Hi John,

I'm no expert on JTabbedPanes, but if I've understood what you are saying, 
I've just knocked up a quick bit of code and calling this.validate() or 
this.getContentPane().validate() seems to fix the problem you are describing 
depending on whether you are using a frame or an applet.

Hence my code reads something like :-

 void jTabbedPane1_mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
  {
    if (jTabbedPane1.getSelectedIndex()==2)
    {
      this.getContentPane().validate();
      jTextField3.requestFocus();
    }

  }
