not all cells from a list box are populating controls - why?

Which brings something to mind....the properties box seems to only allow one
bound field....is that correct? from what you've just said, I should be able
to bind each heading to a control on the form. But when I select a customer
and the accompanying information in each column, the only control that is
populated is the number of the column in box. I tried entering all the
column numbers separated by a "," but that didn't work.

I need the data in each of the related fields to populate the controls when
I hit enter. What am I missing?
 
I recall there a post that must have gone beyond the max number of enteries,
becasue I got a repsonse, but it wasn't there. The net of it is, I don't
remember exactly what you are trying to do and don't remember where the other
thread is. Hopefully, you can bring me up to date.

As to the bound column question, yes, list boxes and combo boxes have only
one bound column.

If it is you are trying to populate controls from a list box, there is no
way to bind them. Controls can be bound to a field in the form's record
source or you can enter a functon or formula in the Control Source property
that will return a value and populate the control, but then that control
cannot update anything in the form's recordset.

Please remind me what you are trying to accomplish.
