Predictive words don't work in combobox

[anchamal77]

i have a combobox which i want to use on a touch screen using touch buttons in ms access 2010

i set the combobox ime sentence mode to phrase predict, allow autcorrect to yes, row source type to value list and typed some words that i want in the row source eg. "kitchen"

i've set the on click event of my buttons a,b,c,d..... as following Me.Combo56 = Me.Combo56 & "A" for button a and so on.

the problem is that when i press the first letter of the word lets say "k" for the "kitchen" on my onscreen keypad the combo can not predict the word.

can anybody help me?

you need to set your source for the combo in alphabetical order for the input column (i.e. the one with kitchen in it)

If your combobox uses a value list rather than a recordsouce, you need to put the valuelist in alphabetical order

Make sure there are no "space" at the beginning of the record ie: " string" vs "string"

How about "Auto Expand"? I have never bothered with the IME setting. As nearly as I can tell IME applies to Japanese characters. Are you working with Kanji?

Make sure your list is in alphabetical order with No Space after the ";"
