Access auto-correcting strange chars

[RichO]

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....

Thanks for your help.

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