    Options:

    1. a multi-column combobox with a row source that displays all customer info

    2. form has RecordSource that joins customers table with orders table, set the JOIN type as "Include all records from Orders and only those from Customers that match" then bind textboxes to the fields from Customers and set them Locked Yes, TabStop No

    3. DLookup expression in textboxes
