Please do not double post in the future. There is 30 min period you can always edit your post to add new information

Line 109 you are calling BankDBDriver.retrieveData(); is throwing error. I presume you have another class BankDBDriver that you need to post before we can help you. Or was that above line mistake and you just wanted to call retrieveData() that is on line 112?

that is only retrieveData();

i forgot to delete the BankDBDriver. before retrieveData();

Connection at line 115 is null because you did only call methods to establish connection, but never actually assigned to the one that you declared on 30. You just call for it with

BankDBDriver.loadDriver();
BankDBDriver.makeConnection();

but that connections stays in your BankDBDrviver class. Give makeConnection() method return type of Connection and assign it to "con" so you can use it in this class

error(s) comings just from dbConnection, GUI is correct,

how should i do that it gives me an error because the makeConnection() method has void result type

the connection that i am using with my inserting gui to database and selecting gui to database are the same... but only the inserting gui is running without the same error..
BUT the selecting gui have that error..

again that's nothing to do with GUI

1/ GUI in this form is Static, you are able to change it/set by method
public void retrieveData() {, debug that and check which JComponent generated
java.lang.NullPointerException
2/ hint: you have to initialize (set value) for your JComponents (TextComponents)
