Only showing organisations in Contact Reference.

how do i make a custom data field of a contact reference to only show organisations?

also, how do i then make a relationship to this organisation by the person filling in the form. organisation is basically the employer of the person filling in the form.

This can be done using contactListQuery hook, check http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmcontactListQuery

You can use postProcess hook and write code to create relationship. Hook example can be found here http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmpostProcess

Might see an alternate approach:
http://civicrm.org/blogs/xavier/how-customise-contact-reference-custom-field

And a discussion on the pros and cons of this approach.

Why don't you use current employer ? it basically seems to do what you describes already.
