Hi,
I am creating a survey, and the first thing I want is for the end user to be able to begin typing in their last name and having it autofill or autopopulate their name once they start typing. And then be able to fill the rest of their information in.

Their is a directory and URL with employee information such as First Name, Last Name, Phone etc. and I want to be able to pull this information in.
I have used drill downs, but the csv file can only hold 10,000 cells and I have around 92,000 cells of information.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could pull from a URL directory instead?

For this large data set, you can create an external web service which will get hit on every input in the text box. Check the example here.

Can I put that code in a Qualtrics Text Field in the HTML view?

You need to have a web hosting account, to host your API. You need to write your API, and use it in qualtrics.
