    Question Dependent combo boxes & result shown in text box

    I'm new in MS Access & VB programming. I was trying to make dependent combo box for a while and it worked after 3-4 days research. However, the next step got me stuck to retrieving data from a certain cell in a single table (no relationship tables done) as shown in the sample table below:

    Sr..........Area.....Type.....Number.....Information
    1...........ABU..... RES..........1..........Information A1
    2...........ABU..... RES..........2..........Information A2
    . . . . .
    5...........ABU..... IND..........1..........Information A5
    6...........ABU..... IND..........2..........Information A6
    . . . . .
    10..........DXB..... RES.........1..........Information D1
    . . . . .
    13..........DXB..... IND.........1..........Information D4
    . . . . .
    . . . . .
    28..........SHJ..... IND..........3..........Information S9

    I have attached an image of my GUI done in MS Access to simplify my explanation.

    I have managed to create dependency combo lists and display unique names of three fields (Area,Type & Number) from the table. However, I couldn't get hold on the required command to display the the "Information" column corresponding to the three choices into a text box " txtInfo" as shown in the GUI Image. I want it to display whenever the user makes all combo selections & pressing the Accept button.

    A sample of the command used for combo list dependancy was:
    cboType.RowSource = "Select Distinct tblInfo.Area From tblInfo where tblInfo.Area = '" & cboArea & "' Order by tblInfo.Type;"

    I'm avoiding using relationship tables therefore please if there is any possible way to display information in the text box after selecting the choices & accepting it, please write the whole command (if possible)

    cboArea => Area Combo box
    cboType => Type Combo box
    cboNumber => Number Combo box
    txtInfo => text box
    tblInfo => table

    Thank you
