How do I display a first and last name on the form from a combo box?

I would like the address, city, and home phone number to fill in the
appropriate fields on the form when selecting the name.
 
You refer to the combo box's Column collection in its AfterUpdate event.
Let's assume that the first name is in the second column, the last name is
in the third column, the address is in the fourth column, the city is in the
fifth column and the phone number is in the sixth column. You'd put their
values into text boxes using code like:

Private Sub cboSelection_AfterUpdate()

Me!txtFirstName = Me!cboSelection.Column(1)
Me!txtLastName = Me!cboSelection.Column(2)
Me!txtAddress = Me!cboSelection.Column(3)
Me!txtCity = Me!cboSelection.Column(4)
Me!txtHomePhone = Me!cboSelection.Column(5)

End Sub

Note that the Column collection starts numbering at 0, not 1.
 
Not sure what you want on the first item but for the second join the combo
source in your form query and use those fields to display the address, city,
and home phone number.

The first part could be done like this --
(SELECT [NameID], [LName] & ", " & [FName] ....
Bound Column: 1
Column Widths: 0"; 2.5"

It will display last name followed by a comma, space, and first name all in
the combo box.

Want to create a combo box with the values from the Sr. Intake table to
populate the corresponding fields in the Schedule table. One of the purposes
of the database is to schedule senior/disabled client transportation
appointments.
 
Do not repeat First, Last, Address, City, and HomePhone in ScheduleTable but
use SeniorIntakeID as foreign key. Setup a one-to-many relationship.
