Is there a way to prevent Access from "auto-correcting" certain characters?

Example: If I enter "DEJA VU" into a table Access changes it to "DÉJÀ VU" with the strange É and À characters. I don't want this to happen.

There must be a way around it.

Thanks for your help.

You might want to turn off AutoCorrect as it has been known to be a bit flaky. Go to Tools > Options > General > Name AutoCorrect

I believe the OP needs to solve this issue by going to Tools>AutoCorrect Options... from the database window. Name Autocorrect is something else which should also be turned OFF.

I thought there was an Autocorrect option somewhere but I had been looking for it in the Tools>Options dialog....I found it in the right place now......problem fixed!

I do have Name Autocorrect turned off as well....had problems with that before....

Forgot about that other autocorrect stuff. Isn't it great that they put all of the related stuff together
