Typing CustomerNumber in textbox fills in customer info in for
I am in the process of creating a new database. It makes sense to me now that
everything has to be entered into the Orders table. I am using the Northwind Database to try and understand the structure. I am in the process now of adding the combo box to the Orders table with 2 columns: CustomerID and CustName with 0" for the first column. At least I'm headed in the right direction now.

Thank you. I see elsethread that you're reevaluating your table structure. When you do so, consider using *TWO* forms - one for the customer, one for the order - since they are different entities with different requirements! If you base your Orders form *just* on the Orders table, you can put a combo box bound to Orders.CustomerID displaying the customer name, and storing the customerID; you can even put VBA code into that combo's NotInList event to pop open a Customer form so that you can enter the information for new customers.
