Are you trying to take the customer name, product, etc. from one table and
*store them* in a different table? If so, DON'T; you're missing the whole
point of relational databases, that you store information once, and once only,
and thereafter use Queries (and other tools such as combo boxes, DLookUps,
etc.) to reference the single entry. The customer name should exist in the
customer table *AND NOPLACE ELSE*.

Am I misunderstanding what you're trying to do?

Dear John,

I dont want to store information in customer table which has already been
entered against that serial number i just want a serial no should be on
another from just when a user changes that it will take the complete entry
made against that serial no. The issue i was facing is that i was only able
to fetch customer name rest fields were not picking, with the above mentioned
code.

If you just want to *display* other fields from the combo in textboxes on the
form, be sure that the fields you want to see are included in the combo box's
Row Source query, and that the ColumnCount property is equal to the number of
fields you want to include. Then set the Control Source of textboxes on the
form to

=comboboxname.Column(n)

where n is the zero-based index of the column you want to see.

No code is needed if you just want to see the data, only if you want to store
it.
