Default Fill a cell by selecting a value from a list

Hi!
Problem: I have a drop down list in Cell A1 which lists our 10 store
numbers. The user must select their store number and I want cell A2 to
Automatically fill in the Store's Address, instead of the User typing it
manually. (This is to avoid spelling errors because this cell is linked to a
table in Access)

Please tell me how I can solve this problem.

Thanks,

Yasser

=VLOOKUP($A$1,J1:L10,3,FALSE)
Use this
Lookup cell A1 ( name of store)
look in J1:L10( you will need to have a list, with all the store names --
here names would be in column J, something in column K ( maybe phone number)
and column L would have the address
it specifies to look in the 3rd column ( col L)
edit as you would need this to be.
perhaps you could have the addresses next to the names of the stores you
use in your drop down list.
