need help with code for combo box

[tranzit]

hi i have a form with a combo box and two text boxes on it.
i want it set up so when a selection is made from the combo box the two text boxes will display the corresponding data from the table.

the table name is: New Plymouth
the fields included in the table: Destination
Kilometres One Way
Kilometres Return

the name of the combo box : Dest
the first text box: Kms
the 2nd text box: Kms1

the combo box displays the destinations from the table, i want the Kms text box to display the one way kms and i want the Kms1 text box to display the return kms.

i currently have the following code which works fine with one text box but i am un sure what changes are required to make it work for two text boxes.

the code is:

after update in the combo box

Private Sub Dest_AfterUpdate()
Me!Kms = Me!Dest.Column(1)
End Sub

can anyone please help me???????

Interesting... it should work perfectly fine. The one time something like this happened to me was because I had overlapping names. Check all field names in the recordsource, function names in the modules, variable names, etc. and see if you've given more than one thing the same name.

Check the Column Count property under the format tab. It should be set to at least 2 if you want to use both the first and second column
