Auto fill textboxes from a droplist selection

[Shawnna Griffin]

I am trying to create a protected document that will fill in 2 text boxes
based off the selection of a dropdown list.
example:
Dropdown list = Name
Auto fill in
Textbox1 = position code
Textbox2 = user ID
.......
any ideals are welcome, been looking on net but found nothing. thankyou

Do you mean that if the value of the dropdown is literally "Name" you want
the value of text1 and text2 to be literally "position code" and "User ID"
or do yo mean if the dropdown is say "Shawnna" that text1 would display be
your actual postion code and text2 your actual UserID?

Sorry for the confusion, I needed to be more clear. If you select Shawnna G.
from the dropdown list it would display your actual position code and user
ID or if you selected Joe snuffy it would display his position code and user
ID. Again thanks.

Shawna,

It can be done, but before I go into any details be aware the limit for a
drop down field is 25 entries. If you have a large list I think you will
have to marry up with a database and I am afraid that that is out of my
league.
