Could be that a Data Validation dropdown and VLOOKUP formula(s) may be in
order.

Visit Debra Dalgleish's site for info on VLOOKUP function to pull data based
on value, in your case, ID no.. Note the downloadable sample
workbooks.

Also see Debra's site for creating Data Validation dropdown menus for
choosing an ID no. from a list.
