JButton (ActionPerformed)

[mbonfyre]

Please could somebody tell me where I am going wrong:

The three buttons are meant to read from their combo box and write to the text box, but all three buttons only read from one combo box(so it is repeating)
ie.

Instead of '1st January 2003' it reads '1st 1st 1st'

I know that the rest of the form needs sorting, but I am trying to deal with one part at a time so I gain a full understanding of what is happening.

that's all the code, I will need to add more later, I just wanted to get one bit working properly before I carried on with it.
