I've been working on an Access form(s), and their combo boxes stopped
having the behavior of 'auto-filling' themselves when the end user
starts typing a correct value.

What happens now is even if the user types in the beginning of a
correct value, Access just says it's not a valid value, drops down the
list, and more or less makes the user use his/her mouse to select the
correct value.

How do I re-enable this?? I know it's probably something simple that I
can't think of or find.

Thank you,
:) tom

Click to expand...

Set the combo box's AutoExpand property to Yes.
It's on the Data tab.
 
Hello Fred,
Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried this, and it didn't work.
I have to have Limit to List turned on.
I haven't figured out what the problem is...
Thank you,
Tom
