How do I disable the autofill feature?
When in a datasheet view, if I put in 2 sequential
numbers and tab there after it automatically fills the
next number. How do I stop this from happening?
Thanks
 
Hi, Jay.

Is this a combo box that is automatically filling in the info for you? If
so, then open the form in Design View and select the "Data" tab. Change the
"Auto Expand" Property to No, then save the form and open it in Datasheet
View. Start typing in the combo box and you'll see the difference.

HTH.

Jay, I don't think there is a way to disable this feature
in A2K or A2K2. I don't know if it got fixed in A2003.
