Hi,

I have an excel workbook that holds the value choice for the drop down box and what i would like it to do populate 2 other fields in the table based on the selection made.
Workbook - 3 columns - Account number, Company Name, Postcode
(this workbook is static information)
Table - Account Code (drop down box) - Company Name - Postcode - (other fields do exist but not relevant)

I know this must be easy but having a mental block plus i'm new to the whole VBA thing.
Thanks in advance,
o/

You don't need VBA for this. Just some VLOOKUP formulas
