Can Access Know What I'm Thinking?

[bradwould]

I have tried searching the forum to no avail, although I know it must be on here somewhere. I wanted to know if it was possible to have suggested text in a form field. If I type in "B" I would like previous entries begining with B to come up as suggestions for the complete word. Could some one let me know if it is possible/ how to do it/ what keyword to search for.

Is a list box the only way OR even an option??

Thanx
Brad

I think your looking for the "Allow Autocorrect" property of a combo box.

Maybe the Auto Expand property on the data tab of the properties sheet.

Remember - Access is a DATA base not a word processor. I think I know how you feel, sometimes it would be nice for the words to auto fill like they do in excel. As I cant spell and dont type real fast, anything to help would be good.

If I understand the requirement there is an A97 demo attached.

Sorry for the size (240K) but there are 16,000+ records.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Chris.
