This is my code where is retrieves info from a database (code not shown). It is then meant to set the string text in a text field. However when I run the code no text appears in the text field. It prints out the values in the console when I use system.out
int id_col = rs.getInt("ID");
String id = Integer.toString(id_col);
String surname = rs.getString("surname");
String forename = rs.getString("forename");
String dob = rs.getString("DOB");
String address = rs.getString("address");
String number = rs.getString("number");
String gender = rs.getString("gender");
String tutor = rs.getString("tutor");
String email = rs.getString("email");
idtext.setText(id);
stext.setText(surname);
ftext.setText(forename);
gtext.setText(gender);
dobtext.setText(dob);
HM.setText(address);
pe.setText(number);
tg.setText(tutor);
ea.setText(email);

The problem is you are invoke the initComponents(); twise. One in constructor:
public Search() {
initComponents();
DoConnect();
}
And another one:
{
initComponents();
}
Try removing last block.
