I am new to Access and relatively self-taught, so forgive me if this question
is not well-stated.
I have several tables with lookup fields -- all combo boxes and all based
off an existing table. In the past, when I begin typing in this lookup
field, the program would suggest the correct value as I continue typing. For
some reason, the program now stops searching after I type two characters and
leaves me with whatever value it arrived at based on those two characters.
As I keep typing, I just add random letters to the value the program selected
based on those two characters. For example, if I was typing the word
"Microsoft," but "Michael" was the first value in the lookup table, I would
get something that looks like "MiCROchael." Instead of typing through the
field, I now have to choose the value from the drop-down menu. Not critical,
but annoying because it used to work correctly.
Any suggestions???
