without seeing any code, or any error message/stacktrace, bit hard for us to tell. If your deadline is tomorrow, well ... remember this next time: trying to get it done last minute usually blows up in your face.

Most likely, there's something wrong or missing in your code, but we can only speculate about that.

Your problem description is wrong.
I ran your code with a print statement in the mouseClicked method as it WAS being called. It's the setBackground that's not working - presumably because you have a custom cell renderer that sets the background to fixed values.

ps: I ran this on a Mac and the layout is a mess because you have used a null layout manager and chosen pixel sizes that are (presumably) OK on your machine, but absolutely not portable. That's why we have layout managers.

This could help you out.

I wouldn't start with the enter key yet, first start with buttons, and the listeners you have so far.
Have the information you enter stored (in the application in memory, and on closing the application, on your hard drive in an xml file (for example)).

That way, once you choose the same date a second time, you just have to load the previously entered information.

you can create a database, but for now, I would start without one, just store the data in local files, txt or xml for instance.
There are tons of tutorials and resources to learn how to work with xml files.
Take a look over here.

 public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event){
          // tblCalendar.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
           InputWindow inp = null;
            try {
                inp = new InputWindow();
            } catch (ParseException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(CalendarProgram.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }
           inp.setVisible(true);

The easiest route into/out of XML is the XMLEncode / XMLDecode classes that are part of the standard Java API. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/beans/XMLEncoder.html
