Hello, this is maybe a simple question but I have to know. I am working on a database. One of the elements is some kind of personnel admin. I made a form with all kinds of details of the personnel, like names, surname, age etc.
I would like to have a pull down menu on for example the surname and pick an element of the list. After this, all the fields must be updated with the information of that person. I don't know how to do this and I think it will be a difficult job. Has anyone experience with this problem?

Try doing a search on this forum for cascading combo boxes or autopopulate ... the posts that you find should give you some starters.

Hope this gets you going

Another place you can look is in the help menu under query >> auto-update query.
