Selection Change

I have a drop downlist full of all of your employees.
The datatype is set for the employee records.
What I would like to happen is when someone selects the dropdown list to have text boxes filled with information about the employee.

I tried having the drop down post data, and setting the text box to use ThisForm.DropdownlistItem, but that didn't get me what I wanted.

Any thoughts?

Just throwing this out as a dirty solution... you could always have 2 identical forms: one empty with the populated dropdown, and one form hooked up to the "selected" dropdown value.

These forms are separated by components that "get" the object, s.t. the variables are available on the second form further down the stream.
