AutoComplete error in (my?) Excel

[Lee Meadowcroft]

Hi all,

I have just noticed an error with the autocorrect feature that is
causing me some problems in one of my spreadsheet programs. I have a
VBA Workbook_Open routine that adds autocorrect entries for each letter

of the alphabet "a" to "A" etc. and then removes them in a BeforeClose
routine.

The problem comes when trying to autocorrect two adjacent rows. I set
up a little test in a blank workbook and found the same problem. Try
this:

Add an autocorrect entry for "a" to "A".
Type "a" in cell A1, text changes to "A"
Type "a" in cell A2, text stays as "a"

But, if you leave a row out and now type "a" in cell A4 the text
autocorrects. The error only occurs when trying to autocomplete two
adjacent rows. There is also an error once you have autocorrected say
B10 and then try to autocorrect B5.

I havent noticed this before and am wondering if it is some setting on
my home PC that is different to my work PC.

I would be grateful if someone could check if this also occurs with
their Excel so I can shed some light on the issue.

Many Thanks

Lee

If you turn off the "enable autocomplete option" in tools options edit,
the autocorrect works.

Hi Bill,

I've tried that and it hasn't worked, maybe its just because im running
xl2000 on this comp. Possibly it was a bug that was fixed.
