Sounds like you need a JTabbedPane.

Thanks Ji,
But I have to use AWT!
Thanks

I wrote an AWT tabbed panel a while back which I will try and dig up and put on a web site somewhere for you to grab and use. I'll put the URL here when I've found it.

Hi Angela,
If U just want to use Awt I have one solution
u can use it if it suits u
1. Create Three Tables on three different panels
Say Table-1 on Panel-1
Table-2 on Panel-2
Table-3 on Panel-3
and 3 buttons on some other Panel (panel4)
Panel 4 will always be visible
where only one of Panel-1, Panel-2, Panel-3
is visible depending on the Button pressed on the Panel 4
So on pressing Button-1 u can show just Panel-1
and make Panel 2 and 3 invisible
and on clicking Button 2 show panel 2
and so on
This concept is similar to Layers in HTML where u can show one layer over the other ..

I suggest a simple solution. Use a Frame with a BorderLayout. Put the three labels in a Panel with a FlowLayout. Then put the panel in the NORTH of the Frame. After that, put the tables in a second Panel with a CardLayout. Then put the second Panel in the CENTER of the Frame. Then call the appropriate methods of the CardLayout to show the appropriate table when a user clicks the appropriate label. A CardLayout shows only one component at a time. Use a MouseListener to catch the mouse clicks.

Jeffrey's solution is probably the best answer... and guess what?!?!? I had some code lying around that is almost exactly what you need... hope it gives you some idea of how to implement your solution!

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
    
class CardTest extends Frame implements ActionListener {
    private Panel buttonPanel;
    private Panel cardPanel;
    private CardLayout cl;
    private Button next;
    private Button previous;
    private int currentCard;
    private Applet[] appletArray = { new Applet(),
                                     new Applet(),
                                     new Applet() };
    CardTest()
    {
        cl = new CardLayout();
        cardPanel = new Panel();
        cardPanel.setLayout( cl );
        currentCard = 0;
        for( int i = 0; i < appletArray.length; i++ )
        {
            cardPanel.add( appletArray[i], String.valueOf( i ) );
        }
        buttonPanel = new Panel();
        previous = new Button( "Previous" );
        previous.setEnabled( false );
        previous.addActionListener( this );
        next = new Button( "Next" );
        next.addActionListener( this );
        buttonPanel.add( previous );
        buttonPanel.add( next );
        add( cardPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER );
        add( buttonPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH );
    }
    
    public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
    {
        if( e.getSource() == next )
        {
            if( currentCard < appletArray.length - 1 )
            {
                cl.next( cardPanel );
                currentCard++;
                if( !previous.isEnabled() )
                {
                    previous.setEnabled( true );
                }
            }
            if( currentCard >= appletArray.length - 1 )
            {
                next.setEnabled( false );
            }
        }
        else if( e.getSource() == previous )
        {
            if( currentCard > 0 )
            {
                cl.previous( cardPanel );
                currentCard--;
                if( !next.isEnabled() )
                {
                    next.setEnabled( true );
                }
            }
            if( currentCard <= 0 )
            {
                previous.setEnabled( false );
            }
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println( "What the?!?!" );
        }
        System.out.println( "card: " + currentCard );
    }
    
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        final CardTest ct = new CardTest();
        ct.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e )
            {
                ct.setVisible( false );
            }
        } );
        ct.setSize( 300, 150 ); //Or whatever size you want.
        ct.setVisible( true );
    }
}
