I don't quite get what you mean, this just sounds like an ordinary form?

What exactly should happen? Do the other fields fill themselves in? How? Please be more specific!

I can't think of any efficient way to do it but there's a way. I am assuming these are known phone numbers and addresses stored in a database. If the database isn't huge and won't get huge I would try this:

Connect to your db using ASP when the page loads and SELECT the entire table where the phone numbers and addresses are stored. Response.Write a DIV with hidden visibility. Response.Write SELECT objects for each field, phone #, address line 1, address line 2, etc, into that DIV using the information in the recordset you created. So you end up with a hidden DIV with all the phone number/address info stored in SELECT objects (drop down lists) on the client computer. Then when the phone number text box loses focus, iterate thru the hidden phone number drop down for a match. If you get one all you have to do is pull the information from the other drop downs using the same index into your address fields.

Like I said, not efficient in any way (well, except that the client will see the address fields fill out almost immediately, but with a major upfront cost). But if it must be done it can. There might be an easier way to store an array of information using ASP where JavaScript can find it on the client end. But I don't know of one.

Good idea, and to write in client do just that, write the array in from the db.
<%
With Response
' Iterate thu records
.write &quot;<script language='JavaScript'>&quot;
.write &quot;var names = new Array()&quot;
.write &quot; names[0] =&quot; & strSomeValueFromDb
...
.write &quot;</script>&quot;

End with
%>

you know something like that, to limit server connections. JavaScript can then read you array. P.S. you did extremely well to make sense of the question ;-)

Instead of using lost focus event (doesn't work in ASP), using OnChange event.
