corrections, sorry again it is listbox instead of drop down box, and if it is a listbox after selecting the certain name from the list, i would like it to populate the information of the database of the columns entered in the SQL database linked, Crazio, you did say you usually use a reader to read the database? how about writing into/edit? and if so, can you tell me more or give an example that can help me out with my small project? or if anyone can help me out with the above info would be great as well so the text boxes can populate the rest of the info from the customer database SQL when selected from the list box, is it like getline?

Thanks again all
