Default Checking for dublication of text


I’m using a dropdown list with names listed, once the name is placed in
any field it may not be selected again.
Can I automatically check for double entries and indicate as such?
Or perhaps eliminate the names from the list once they have been
selected?

Think Debra Dalgleish has a nice coverage on this at her:
