Autofill Options

[TC]

I am developing a database to track training for employees. I would like to
be able to type in a first and/or last name and/or an employee number and
auto fill what I don't enter. My managers will be using this database and in
order for it to be accurate and complete I need first/last name and employee
number. I can't figure out how to get an autofill option to work.

It isn't clear where you want this to happen...

If you are using MS Access, the appropriate place would be in a form (rather
than directly in a table).

In a form, there really wouldn't be a need to auto-fill values you already
have stored (but then, perhaps what you mean by autofill doesn't involve
re-saving redundant values).

More info, please...
