Auto Completing

[pigeon]

I have something that is really taken up too much time and also given me a headache...
I have a subform related to a main form....cool no problems there. I am using a couple of fields from the main form within the subform and adding dates, names and contact details to associate with the relevent records.
Can this subform facilitate the autocomplete phenomina that i see in windows and excell and the like so i dont have to continually type the same names.
I tried to select names from a combo box but it got messy and names were being overwritten by numbers and i nearly broke my screen...lol
Wanting to get functionality back in to this app at the moment, and suggestions are eagerly sought

If you go to the form in the edit mode, set the Auto expand property of the combo or list box to Yes.
