heres my problem. im createing a phone message database in access xp and what i need to know is how do i make it so that when i select say a person thats already in my data base that it brings up there phone number and stuff like that as well. Because what i want to do is have it so if a regular customer rings that all i have to do is start typing there name (while on the phone to them)that it puts there reply phone number in the return phone number spot so i dont have to keep tying there details and and i can start type there message in. Sorry if this sounds confusing or stupid but ive been trying to get it to work for the past 3 days straight. I looked at the setup on how they have it in the northwind example but cant seem to get it. Any help would be great.

Thanks
