How do set up a form/table to auto fill-in repetitive
information?

To the extent that it's possible, you shouln't STORE repetetive
information! In a relational database you will hav multiple tables
mostly in one-to-many relationships; you would store information about
the "one" side entity, once only, in the "one" side table, and then
store many records related to that entity in the "many" table,
typically using a Form and a Subform.

Could you explain what information you're working with?
