Create or Use an AutoFill List From Another Source
You can create or use an AutoFill list from a variety of sources, such as
a previously saved AutoFill list, an AutoFill list from another field, an
AutoFill list from an ODBC source, and an AutoFill list from an
OmniForm Form or Database.
Use a Previously Saved AutoFill List
You can use a previously saved AutoFill list and apply it to your current
field. This can save you time if you have already created a list that could
be used again. For example, you may have created a list containing the
names of all your customers and would like to use that information for
your current field.

1 Open a form and select a field where you want to use another
AutoFill list.

Object Definition...
