set Auto-complete fields
Auto-complete is a data entry aid for Text fields introduced in FileMaker Pro 8. When the user types new data into a field that's been set to auto-complete, FileMaker consults the index for the field, attempting to match the typed characters with those of previously entered data. Thus, if you think data will be reused in a particular field, you can speed data entry by enabling auto-complete for the field.
Repeat this procedure for fields on the Stock/Mutual Fund tab panel (Stk_Brokerage Firm, Stk_Account Number, Stk_Broker, Stk_Phone) and the CD tab panel (CD_Institution).
