Combo Box Question

[Javster095]

I'd like to create a combo box... when selecting an item from the combo box
information would populate in several other textboxs.

Ex:

From the drop down menu (Combo Box) "Name" I would select John Smith.

When selecting "John Smith"... I'd have other textboxes entitled "AGE",
"Wieght" and "Height" etc. populate with text from my table.

Please assist.

Here is one method.
Add unbound text control to the form.
Code the Combo Box AfterUpdate event:

Me.[ControlA] = Me.ComboName.Column(1)
Me.[ControlB] = Me.ComboName.Column(2)
etc.

Combo box columns start 0, so Column(1) is the 2nd column.

Note: I hope the actual name of the field is NOT "Name".
