Auto complete or free entry

Is it possible to create a field which either A) auto completes when the user starts to type (based on previous entires in the same field on other records) or B) if there is no matching stored entry, creates a new entry using the new information that has been typed (which would then be triggered by auto complete should the user need it again on another record in the same table.  If the answer involves code I would be gratfeul for an example as I am a new user.

    Thanks very much - I have had a look at that and if I understand correctly - you type in one field and the result is produced in another field.  I would like to be able (if possible) to type directly into the destination field and have that field autocomplete as I type if it matches a previously stored entry in that field from other records.

    Auto complete from previous entries as you type, is not available, yet :-(
