For example my users have to input text describing a product under the
product field. i would like it that everytime they type something in it is
stored and saved so that next time as they begin to type the same thing, it
will automatically fill in the rest, just like how IE does when you type in
the search box.

I don't know how difficult this will be, but thanks for the help!

Use a combo box. Here's a link to the on-line help topic ...

Yes, I know that will give the user multiple options to pick from. However
they are constantly putting in new data and I need it to be able to do what I
mentioned. I have seen this feature elsewhere but can't remember how it was
done.

There's an example of how to add items to the combo box's list at the
following URL ...
