Default fields from tables to update

hi all,

i have a form where there are fields like name, id (staff_table), Accountno (staff_Account_Table), branch code (Branch_Table) etc. they are from 3 different tables.

the form will have the branch code empty where the user will key in the branch code. i want the branch code and branch name to be reflected /updated into my account table once the user entered the branch code which means that the branch name will be updated automatically.

how can i do that???

pls advice

Please provide table structure with complete PK/FK descriptions and relationships, IE One to Many.
