Greetings, i'm new, and i don't really know, where this belongs else I would have put this into the right forum.

Heres my problem, i'm creating a database, and right now, I am doing a *Acceptance Letter*, on this letter, there is a combox box that the person creating the new acceptance letter, needs to click and select the program, then below that, the user is to put in the persons first and last name.

Now what i'm trying to say is, i don't know if this should be a form to input information in, or a report, i believe a form.. so, 1) drop down box, select the program.. this program once selected will *Auto populate 3 text boxes with dates available for that program, which in turn will then auto populate 3 more text boxes with the end date of that program. is this a query, and if yes how ? Do i need to half many tables to do this or, how would the relationships work if needed be ? 2) i guess there isn't a 2....But i am having a problem with how to go about making this combo box do this :( i'm access self taught, i knew nothing almost 2 months ago and i'm learning by checking things online, youtube, etc but this has got me so stumped I can't get it worked out. Anyone have any ideas please let me know ty.

P.S this is for Access 2007

Your title is going to drive help away. Spend some time to read the sticky's above to enhance your question receiving responses.

Let me encourafge you to go up one level in this forum and find the Sample Databases.
If you would spend some time reviewing them, there is a good chance you will find one to three examples of what you are asking for that you can adapt, modify or add to your solution.
You can download them and try them out. If you find what you are looking for, a working model can go a long ways to get you going.

Welcome to the world of programming! Be sure to thank anyone for the free advice you receive. Every one that helps others are rewarded in different monatary values of zero (i.e byte, int, long...)
