    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:PatientDB");
    String query = "SELECT * FROM PatientDB WHERE IC_No = txtIcNo.getText()";
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
    con.commit();
    while(rs.next()){
    if("txtIcNo.getText()"!=null){

    txtIcNo.setText(rs.getObject(1).toString());    
    txtName.setText(rs.getObject(2).toString());
    }
    else{
    System.out.println("Bye bye");
    }
    }
    con.close();
    }

If this is just a learning exercise then try something like

String query = "SELECT * FROM PatientDB WHERE IC_No = '" + txtIcNo.getText() + "'";

If this is for production code then do not use the above. Instead, do some Web searches on "SQL injection" attacks, then learn about "Parameterized queries" and use those.
