I managed to figure out how to pull 3 fields from a query into a combo box. However, I want to save those results into a separate table. For instance, I have a query that pulls together the LastName, FirstName, and Phone number fields into one drop down box. But now I want to take that result and save it to another table because when I close the form that inforamtion doesn't save when I open the form again. Any ideas?

You don't normally do that... > Database Normalization and Table Structures.
You store the data in the tables, and when you need to construct the string you do so in a query, form, report at the time of need - exactly as you appeared to have done in the cbo-control d(^_^)b ! You would due basically the same thing in a query calculated field or a report control.
It would be helpful for you to work your way thru the following website tutorials to get a feel for how a normalized database should be setup and utilized:
