    Combobox question


    this is my dilemma here: I have a few forms that have a a combo box that drop downs with over 100 employee names, each employe has its own id aka 4 letters of his name or whatever, so they are all different, how can i have the employee id appear on a field on a forms that requires it based on the selection from the combo box, so basically if i select john doe from the cbo his id will automatically fill the field that requires his id input.
    any help with this will be most appreciate it.

    Well, normally the ID field would be the bound column of the combo, but perhaps you want this?
