Access 2000 - filling multiple fields from combo selection

[JoanneMB]

I'm attempting to fill several fields on a form based on the selection from a
combo box. I've looked at the sample database that comes with the
application, but it isn't quite what I'm looking for.

Here's an example of what I'm trying to two.

Say we have three fields on a form, FieldA (combo box), FieldB (text) and
FieldC (text). When I drop down the combo box, I select "1" for FieldA. I
would like FieldB and FieldC to then become the other values from within the
combo box, say "2" and "3".

I've tried several different ways to accomplish this with code, but have yet
to succeed. I haven't coded within Access for years and am more than a tad
bit rusty.

HELP!

Thanks.

In the AfterUpdate event of the combo box, put code along the lines of the
following:

Private Sub FieldA_AfterUpdate()

Me.FieldB = Me.FieldA.Column(1)
Me.FieldC = Me.FieldA.Column(2)

End Sub

Thank you!

Your answer works great.

following:

Private Sub FieldA_AfterUpdate()

Me.FieldB = Me.FieldA.Column(1)
Me.FieldC = Me.FieldA.Column(2)
