Help anyone before I lose my hair.
1 combo box with 5 values to choose from.
These 5 values consist of 5 groups of functions. Based on the function selected on this combo box,how can i automatically fill in the values in 3 other fields?
I tried to make 5 different forms but how do I tell Access that if the value in this combo box is this, then go to this group of records to extract the information.

Forever grateful!
 
You will need to write some code... The code below sets all the text boxes to display the key value of the combo box.

It's very basic....

Private Sub cboCombo_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_cboCombo_AfterUpdate

Me.txtTextBox1.Value = Me.cboCombo.Value
Me.txtTextBox2.Value = Me.cboCombo.Value
Me.txtTextBox3.Value = Me.cboCombo.Value

Exit Sub
Err_cboCombo_AfterUpdate:
DisplayError Err, "cboCombo_AfterUpdate"
Exit Sub
End Sub

You don't say whether you know precisely want you want in the 3 text boxes, or whether you would like to actually find values from the database dependant on the choice in the combo. If you give us a bit more description I'm sure that someone will be able to give you the definitive answer.
