What do you mean by simple? All it takes is to bind the TextBoxes to your DataTable. How much simpler do you want it?

i understand that the datatable automatically fills at load().

want i am looking at achieving is a seperate textbox that filters the "ClientID" field. soo basically a user can enter a client number if known and it fill then fill the other textbox fields relating to that client id, ie first name, last name, address, ect.

that make senses?

I think you are partially on track with the auto complete, but I think the OP wants to have other textboxes auto complete with database information based on entry in the "Client ID" textbox. How he is to do this will depend entirely on whether this is a web based or forms based application. At this point, I'm much too tired to put together a complete answer right now, but being on the right track, you could probably get your's up to standard quite easily.
