Get information into combo box and text box

Databases
1

Hi All,
I am just brand new to this database design stuff and I am just wondering how I get information from the database to a dropdown or combo box and a text box, for example: Table name Category attribute CategoryName, CategoryDescription.
Now what I need is the Category Name in the dropdown/combo box and its description in the text box along side it???
I have looked at a few different versions using the SELECT but that is just to populate the combo box what about the text box part…

Please post the code you have so far, and then tell us what you’re trying to do but can’t get it to work.

As I said I am new to this stuff and I have no code at the moment, all I want to do is get data from 1 table into a combo box and depending on what the combo box is the description for that category is then put in the text box.
Table is Category
Fields are CategoryName, CategoryDescription
CategoryName goes into the combo box
CategoryDescription goes into text box
