i am starting in programming and I would like your help. i created a form
Access on which i have a combobox with two fields, one containing text field
and the other containing the values of the text are numbers.

Then i created a textbox and my story is that I would like that every
selection of a recording in my combobox, the value or number associated with
it is affected in the texbox. Successively values must be added in the
textbox to each selection.

Help me please
 
viba,
Not sure if I understand your question. Please show us some sample combo
box values, and what you want to do, after a selection is made.
But anyway...
For example, if your combo (ex. name cboClient) has a selection like
this.
Column-0 Column-1
"Joe Smith" 12345
(combo columns are numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, etc...)
To display what is in the second column of your combo in a text box on
the form, place this in the ControlSource of that text box...
= cboClient.Column(1)
So, when you select "Joe Smith", the textbox will show 12345.
