Of course can this be done. Depending on how you bound your textboxes to the fields in the database. This assumes that the controls are bound via the datasource and datafield properties:

private Sub SearchDAO()

If List1.Text <> "" then
Data1.Recordset.FindFirst "Searchfield='" & list1.Text & "'"
End If

End Sub

private Sub SearchADO()

If List1.Text <> "" then
Data1.Recordset.MoveFirst
Data1.Recordset.Find "Searchfield='" & list1.Text & "'"
End If

End Sub

try this

private Sub Listbox1_Click()
If List1.Text <> "" then
rst.MoveFirst
rst.Find "Searchfield='" & list1.Text & "'"
If not(rst.eof) then
txtBox1.Text = rst("Field2")
txtBox2.Text = rst("Field3")
End iF
End If
End Sub
