I have a set list of names and addresses i would like to include in a form

would like the form to lay out as such:

Name (combo box)
Street Address (text field)
City/State/Zip (text field)
Phone # (text field)
ID # (text field)

Array would contain about ~15-20 entries (names)

As the user selects a choice from the combo box, it populates all other fields according to pre-defined data.

Would also be nice, to have all fields be editable by the user - incase they wish to add a new person by hand before the form may be updated.

**please** be detailed with scripting (syntax & implementation) as I have not been able to wrap my head around it yet (have a solid understanding of other programming)

Thom Parker has posted the [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/change_another_field]Changing Another Field with Combo Box (Drop Down) Selection[/url] that shows how to do it with 3 data fields for a selection, so you will have to expand it for 4 data fields. Also is your name has white spaces with in its string, you will need to use quotes for the data object's element for the name.

Thank you very much!

I had found an example that went beyond - about changing other combo boxes conditionally, and got a bit lost.
