I would like to create a form. Can I set it so that when a person types in a name, then the address fills in automatically.
 
I know you can do it in excel - will have to figure out how to do it in word -

Miracles we do immediately ...
imposibilities take a little longer.
 
You sure can if you know what the matching address is.

Simply do a logic check on the value of the text input field. have it run through an array of addresses, or a Collection of addresses. If name is X, then value of address field = Y.

This is only truly practical if you have a reasonably small number of linked names/addresses. If you have lots, thern either pick up the data from Excel or Access.
