Right i have a combo box with 3 column's

1. School
2. No Pupils
3. Cost center

when a user selects one of the rows say i.e Newmill; 212 (pupils); 1888
(cost center)
it only seems to display the school name in the actual table, but in my
table i have fields
called School (this is where it stores the school name, which it does),
No Pupil's & Cost Center.

How do i get the values from the combo box to store in each of these
fields????
 
On the after update event of the combo, write the code

Me.[No Pupils text field] = Me.[Combo name].column(1)
Me.[Cost center] = Me.[Combo name].column(2)
=====================================
I assume that you want to store the value right to the moment when it was
selected.
If, for example, you make changes to the Cost center field, it wont change
the value you stored in the table, if you want the changes to reflect in the
main table, then you shouldn't store this values in the table.

You can write in the control source of the field in the form
No Pupils
=[Combo name].column(1)
Cost center
[Combo name].column(2)
