Is there a way to do that?

A good place to start is the Northwind database that comes with the
installation of Access.

Mark,

Typing in an ID number is not the way to do it!

Your table should look like:

TblCustomer
CustomerID
FirstName
LastName
Address
City
State
Zipcode

Create a query based on TblCustomer with these fields:
CustomerID
FirstName
LastName
Address
City
State
Zipcode

Sort on LastName

Put textboxes on your form for each of the fields in TblCustomer except
CustomerID and name the textboxes the same as the field names. Create a combobox
on your form based on the above query and name it CustomerID. Select your
combobox in design view and set the following properties:
Bound Column 1
Column Count 7
Column Width 0;1.5;1.5;0;0;0;0

Put the following code in the AfterUpdate event of the combobox:
Me!FirstName = Me!CustomerID.Column(1)
Me!LastName = Me!CustomerID.Column(2
Me!Address = Me!CustomerID.Column(3)
Me!City = Me!CustomerID.Column(4)
Me!State = Me!CustomerID.Column(5)
Me!Zipcode = Me!CustomerID.Column(6)
