[mso] Access Question

Ok.  I'm not even sure how to word this question, but here goes:
 
I have a database with 3 tables.  Table one is the employee listing
table.  It has fields that include the employee name, office number,
office name and specialty.
 
Table 2 is a table of all the office numbers and corresponding names.
 
I'm trying to develop a form to use to update the employee listing table
with new employees.  I want to be able to do two things:
 
One - allow the user to select from a drop down list of office numbers,
the correct office number.
Two - have the form automatically pick up the office name based on the
office number.
 
Use this information to insert a new record with the new employee.
 
I've looked through several books and done some web searches on how to
do this, the problem is I'm not really sure how to search for what I
want to do, so it's making it difficult to find.  Can anyone point me in
the right direction?
 
Thanks,
