drop down lists in accress form

[Guest]

When we try to input an engineers name from a drop down list, if both names
start with "john" for instance, the first surname selected does not dissapear
when the first letter of the reqd surmame is pressed, This only happens when
"caps" is on. It used to work ok on this computer and still does on all the
other computers. I suspect she has altered an option somehow. Many thanks in
advance, Bruce.

Often, when behavior is different, it is more convenient to copy the
front-end code from another machine. I always keep clean, untouched copies
on the server to simply replace the offending application. You can replace
it in seconds, it takes at least a few minutes (if you're skilled or lucky)
to diagnose a problem.
