I am so new to Access and pretty overwhelmed. I need to know how to autofill a field

[goakley]

I am experienced in Paradox databases and objectpal. Access is a totally new experience for me. Because of my experience with paradox databases, I know what can be done, but I don't know how to accomplish it with access. So, I will start with my first obstacle. I have an employee database with the name of the employees. The employees have an employee ID which the table is keyed on. I have a table that I need to enter their production records to. The present database gives suggestions to the field as soon as characters are typed into the field. In other words if I type a S Sarah's and Stephen's name shows. Then if the next letter is t then it just shows Stephens name. How do I get the field to do that.

A combobox will highlight available options from its RowSource as you type. Besides that, I can only think of options in VBA.

Don't interact directly with tables and queries - use forms and reports. As ItsMe suggests, use combobox - on a form.
