Large Autocorrect entries not working in Memo Fileds. Access 2003

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have an issue where autocorrect entries 65 characters or larger don't
activate in a memo field after the memo field has at least 245 characters in
it. Smaller autocorrects (55 characters or less) seem to work. When the meom
field has approximately 300 characters in it the larger autocorrect starts
working again.

The problem has occurred on several installations of Access 2003. Access 97
and 2000 do not seem to have the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be resolved?

Thanks,

David.

Hi David,

The Autocorrect feature has no known issues in Access 2003. You may only
experience a delay.
When using a secured database with Name AutoCorrect enabled, the current
user must have design permissions on the object to enable Name AutoCorrect
to track, fix, and log the binding errors when an object is opened. If a
user does not have design permission on an object that Name AutoCorrect is
trying to change, the changes occur every time that the user opens the
object because the user does not have permissions to ever save the changes.
You can have a user who has permissions to modify the design of the object
open the object. Then the changes will be permanent.

You might also want to check if the feature is enabled in the first place.
To determine if the Name AutoCorrect feature is in use for the database,
click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the General tab. Note that
there are three check boxes for the Name AutoCorrect feature, as follows:
Track name AutoCorrect info

Perform name AutoCorrect

Log name AutoCorrect changes
If the Track name AutoCorrect info text box is selected (checked), the Name
AutoCorrect feature is in use for the database.

HTH.

Thanks Anushi however I'm not refering to the "Name Autocorrect" feature but
the Autocorrect feature under Tools, Autocorrect Options. We use it to
replace two or three character codes with blocks of text.
