The one why I know is 
If Combo1.ListIndex = 0 Then text1.Text = "brown J. Dr."
If Combo1.ListIndex = 1 Then text1.Text = "smith, S. Dr."
but this over writes text1.text when you select a different customer.  I 
want to have the text of the customer selected to enter the text box, then 
items from combo2 when clicked to be entered under the customer like an 
order, and when finished customer & items save the text as a file and be 
able to open and continue with another customer and new items listed below 
the first custoemr and items he choose.

Get it now?
