How do I choose a record from a list and it populates a form?

dalanengle · #1 09-26-2009, 09:14 AM

I have a form that displays client information (named "Clients Information").
I have a drop down list on the firm that displays all the clients in my database. My question is how do I click on a client from the drop down list and have it fill in all the fields on the "Client Information" form. I want the list to be included on the Client Information form as well as all the fields.

Please help a newb out!!!

Thanks.

Add another ComboBox to your form with the cbo wizard and select option 3.

That was ridiculously simple. Thanks a lot. I have been trying to figure this out for about three days! I have thousands of questions about this program. I'm new to this, just trying to make a program for my wife's business.

Thanks again! I'll probably have more posts I'm sure!
