I have this form which contains a text box. I wanted to
make it easier for the user to enter the information by
having them start entering the first letters of the name
they are going to write in completely. As they write it
in, I wanted to pop up the rest and if they wanted that
one, then they left it else they could finish writing in
the name (just if in case the name is not in the most
common list). Is this possible to do? If so, how?

Any help would be appreciated.

Since this is to enter text as typed (not to insert an ID related to the text),
go ahead and use a one-column combo box containing a sorted list from the
appropriate field/table. Make sure that its "LimitToList" property is set to
"NO".
