is there a way to make a field auto-complete the text.

ie: start to type "Sm" and the field automatically complete it to "Smith"

A combo box will do that. It has to have the text that you want it t
autocomplete either stored with it or in a table to which it refers.

Is the field is a combox you can turn on the AutoExpand property.

it is a text field created in the table

In order to fill in it has to be looking somewhere. A ComboBox looks to it's
source. Could you use a ComboBox? Try it.
