How to use a combo box to populate fields in a form

Tags: Microsoft, Access, 2003, Combo box to populate field in form
My question may seen rudundant, but I am a novice at this and need some guidance. I work for a security company and track persons with security access badges. Our office inherited an Access database from an another office, which is used to track these badges. The database was somewhat crued, so I have been some making changes to bring it up to date and more effiecent. My problem is that I have two combo boxes (one for SSN# and Last Name) on a form, with the various text fields on the rest of the form. I need to have the text fields populate with data when a selection is made from the combo boxes. I am lost as to start this task. I don't like using the wizard, as in the past it has not produced the results I need. A master table that contains the data for the individuals has been setup. I have attached a screenshot to give an idea of the setup. Thanks in advance for the help.
