When i select a clientName which is column 1, i want to populate the textbox with contact person which is column 2 of the Clients table.

What I have tried:

this is what i tried:

VB

 'Populate the combox with clientnames from clients '

        Try
            connection = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\Nikko Jaze Fabellon\Documents\ASRASIM.accdb")
            connection.Open()
            ds = New DataSet
            tables = ds.Tables
            dataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT [ClientName] from [Clients] where [Status] = 'Active' ", connection)
            dataAdapter.Fill(ds, "Clients")
            Dim view1 As New DataView(tables(0))
            With clientNameText
                .DataSource = ds.Tables("Clients")
                .DisplayMember = "ClientName"
                .ValueMember = "ClientName"
                .SelectedIndex = 0
                .AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend
                .AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.ListItems
            End With

'This is where i would enter the codes'

            With clientNameText
                .DisplayMember = "Contact Person"
                .ValueMember = "Contact Person"
                .DataSource = ds.Tables
            End With



            cPersonText.DataBindings.Add("", ds.Tables, "")

Contact person is not presented in second column, because your query returns only ClientName:
SELECT [ClientName] from [Clients]

As hinted by Maciej - you are not extracting the contact person from the database. You need something more like the following (warning - I have not tested in any way)

taAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT [ClientName],[Contact Person] from [Clients] where [Status] = 'Active' ", connection)
.
.
.
                .DisplayMember = "ClientName"
                .ValueMember = "Client Person"
.
.
.

You can then refer to the ValueMember of the selected row to populate your textbox
