Default Autofill field on form with values from another table

I have a form based on a main table of geographic features. However, for all
new records, I would like to have the Geography Feature ID field autofill
based on a separate table of allowable values. I would use the autonumber
format for this, however, the allowable values are a list of letter codes
(i.e. AAAA through to AAAZ). I already have several records with acceptable
codes...however I would like all future records to pull ID's from this table.

What would be the best way to go about this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

What have you tried so far? How are your tables structured?
