You need to include the PersonalDetails, OtherDetails and EventDetails source code for us to help you.

Why do you add some or your components to 2 panels ?
e.g. in EventDetails.makeEventDetails
this.add( eventList );
...
inputPanel.add( eventList );

This is not a good thing !

Yeah sorry, should be only once, messed about with it so much i've forgotten what i'm doing, still doesn't solve the problem though

[Don Kiddick]

I think the problem is that you are mixing awt & swing. Here is a document that examines the problems of mixing awt and Swing. This is particularly pertinent :

When a lightweight component overlaps a heavyweight component, the heavyweight component is always on top, regardless of the relative z-order of the two components.

To fix, I suggest you use JComboBox instead of Choice.
