Auto-Populate Continuous Subform in Access 2000

Hello! I have two questions: I have a form that I created in Access 2000 that contains a subform with multiple pages that are linked to a main table. One of the pages in the subform is set up to be continuous. The subform has first name, last name and middle name text boxes that I would like to auto-populate if the user has more than one record to enter. For example, a user enters a new identification number and then clicks on the Defendent tab, then they enter the defendant's first and last name and middle initial and then enters a charge. If the defendant has multiple charges they can tab to the next entry in the subform...but is there a way that the first name, last name, and middle initial can be copied down so they don't have to re-type it?

Also, I mentioned above that a defendant can have multiple charges. So, under one identification number, there can be a bunch of continuous listings of different charges in the subform. Is there a way to have a field that would automatically assign a number to each of the charges? So if John Doe has 5 different charges, there would be five forms showing in the subform. The count field would assign numbers 1 through 5 to each of the charges...so instead of referring to the charge name, a user could refer to the number assigned to the charge. Is this possible? Please, let me know if I need to clarify anything further.

Thanks,
Shannon

Okay, I don't need help with the second part of my original post...however, I really would like to figure out how to do the first part. If anyone has any idea how to do this, please let me know...any help would be greatly appreciated. As I mentioned before I have a continuouse subform within a main form. And the user can enter many different charges for one person...instead of having to copy and paste (or retype) the first, last name, and middle initial on each subform entry, I was wondering if there is a way to enter the information once and get it to copy into the next form...so the user only needs to enter the next charge.

Thanks,
Shannon
