filling a form in excel

[Tomwireless]

I Have 2 sheets, a database of items sheet and a form with a combo box to put
the record I get from the database. I want to pick a record from the
database, and add it to my form and have it bring the WHOLE record with it to
the form not just the combo box cell. Both sheets have the same field names
in them.

anyone have an idea on this?

Use the Find Method to offset an populate TextBox controls.

Failing that, use Excels built in Data Form.

I think you misunderstood, Its like filling in a order form from a database.
I have the database and the form but need to find a way to bring the data
over to the form and autofill the rest of the record when the first cell is
entered.

xxxx autofill autofill
xxxx autofill autofill
