    Auto populate fields

    I have a form that asks for Name, Job Title, Employee ID number, etc. I can
    create a drop down list using Validate no problem. However, I want to be able
    to automatically populate the fields when a person's name is selected.

    For example, if I select Billy from the Name drop down list, the Job Title,
    ID Number, etc. gets automatically filled.

    Re: Auto populate fields

    If you had a table with the other information that relates to Billy (and other
    names), you could use =vlookup() to return that info.

    For more info about =vlookup()...
    You could look at Debra Dalgleish's site:
