Have you made an attempt to solve the problem yourself? This site is for people who want to learn, not for people who want their (home)work done for them. Paul Marfleet "No, his mind is not for rent To any God or government" Tom Sawyer - Rush

2 ways to do it. You can either pull the entire datatable worth of information and databind the table using a bindingsource(look up the bindingsource control), or you could make a call to the db every time you enter something and get that information. Conceptually its pretty easy, you have a db full of information, and something you're using as the key to look stuff up. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out how to apply the SQL queries/form interaction.

ITs just without any database for the time being just simple to know how does it works inside a main function. yea its easy to program who knows very well and you seems know very well thats why you dont feel. thanks for ur co-operation so much of happy ending...

Your answer is very helpful to me and thanks a lot bye from now!!! so much of happy ending...
