ComboBox and Referencing DB Table values when one value is know

Basically, my database has a list of customers and their associated
CustomerID's

I've created a ComboBox that is populated by CustomerNames. What I want
to do is each time a different name is selected in the ComboBox, the
related CustomerID would also change.

Basically what I'm asking is how do I get the contents of other fields
of a specific record (in a DB) if I know one value of it.

E.g.

ID----FORENAME-----SURNAME----ADDRESS----POSTCODE
1-----John-----------------Smith-----------1 Tree lane-----F29 6RF
2 ---Jim--------------------Baker-----------1 Pear St-------S34 9TG

If I've populated a combobox with Surnames and their respective
Fornames how do I retrieve postcode or ID when name or address is
selected?

Any hints?
