turn off automatic features

[LGarcia]

Hi all,
Using an AXP table in datasheet view I am entering data in one field. As I
enter data AXP somehow finds a pattern and attempts to "help" me by entering
a value in the same field for the next record. For example if I enter a 2 in
record 1, a 4 in record 2 but then I need to skip down to put a 1 in record
5, I notice that there is a 6 in record 3 and an 8 in record 4. Some of the
records will not contain data in this field at this time and I need it
blank. Is there a way to turn off this feature?
Thanks!!

As I recall, you are entering data in the table, using a form should
eliminate the problem. It is generally better to use forms for viewing, and
working with data. Tables are designed to be just storage locations.

Nope. But this only happens only if you use DatasheetView of the Table to
enter data. If you design a proper Form for data entry, this won't happen
on the Form.

I do have a form for usual data entry. I thought it would be faster to enter
the data directly since it's only one field.
I'll live with it!!
Thanks for the replies!
