Ehmm, you forgot to check actionPerformed for your menu options and based on that to fill in your values to appropriate fields

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
    /*
      *Rest of if statement here
      */
     if(event.getActionCommand().equals("Loans1"))
     {
          System.out.println("First option selected");
     }
     if(event.getActionCommand().equals("Loans2"))
     {
          System.out.println("Second option selected");
     }
     if(event.getActionCommand().equals("Loans3"))
     {
          System.out.println("Third option selected");
     }
}
