Auto-populate contact mailing address to a custom module

Auto-populate contact mailing address to a custom module

I have created a custom module for Sample Orders. When I select a Contact within the custom module, I'd like to auto-populate the Contact's mailing address into my address fields, including street address, street address 2, city, state, zip, country. How can I do this?

Thanks!

This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM. After successful prospecting, the sales cycle is followed by deal creation, follow-up, and its subsequent closure. Being a critical function of your sales cycle, it's good to follow certain best practices. One such

                                                              Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting. Implementing this solution improves reporting and makes it easier for users.
