autocomplete of auto-fill in or series?

[kristel]

I have a table in access with a few number fields followed by a memo
field.
Each time i fill in ascending figures like 3 - 4 or 8 - 9 in the
number fields, the memofield is filled in automatically by access with
the next figure in the series... This happens only in data view, not
when I'm using forms.
Can anyone explain this and how can I disable this function?

Don't use tables for data entry. (you did ask "how", right?! <g>)

Actually, don't use tables for data entry -- that's what forms are for.

It was a STUPID design mistake on Microsoft's part, and there is no
way to disable it in table datasheet view.

Solution? Use Forms, not datasheet view.
