It sounds like you need to have a file dedicated to people which has fields for their name and their email address.

To get what you want done, it would have to have at least two fields: Name, Email_Address.

Fill in the data for each person in a new record.

Then go back to your file in which you want to have the email address fill in. Create a relationship between the name field of this file and the name field of the people file.

On the layout, click the name field, and choose "Field Format" from the "Format" menu. Click the radio button next to pop-up list and for "using value list" choose "Define Value Lists." Type in the word "Names" and click "Create" Click the radio button for "Use values from a field:" and in the Specify Field dialog that comes up, click "Specify File" and find your people file. Select the name field in the list on the left. Then click "OK", "Save", "Done" and "OK", backing out of the dialog boxes.

Now, place the related Email_Address field on your layout.

Now whenever you choose a name from the Name field list, the email address will be filled in.
