fill in form fields using combo box

1 New Member
I have a combo box to select a client name and then it fills in the rest of their information (address, city, state, phone, etc.) Each field is bound to the table where the information is stored. How can I allow the user to overwrite the information that is automatically filled in? Also I don't want the information to be stored. I just want it to be temporary for that specific form. When I try to type in the fields, it tells me it cannot be edited because it is bound. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Unbind the fields. Delete anything in their control source.
