Drop List Valadation and Auto Fill

What I would like to do is Have a drop down list with peoples names, and
when a Name is selected from the drop down list, I would like to have
their info filled in further down the page.

ie.
(Drop down box names..I've already got this part)
Brent
Annie

(When a name is selected their Phone #, and Address fills)
Phone# "Box where # is auto filled in"
Address "Box where address is auto filled in"

I know that I can do the same sort of thing in a valadated list drop
down, and I know that I can use =INDIRECT(A1) to fill in the first box,
but I cant get it to fill in all of the info automaticly

Sounds like a job for the VLOOKUP function to me...........

=VLOOKUP(YourDropDownCell,YourAddressList,OffsetTo AddressOrPhoneColumn,FALSE
)

there is a nice way to do what you want done. there will be formulae
involved in this solution too, but its helluva nicer.

go over to www.contextures.com and look for a file called
ComboBoxAddress.xls. its available for download.
