Auto Correct problem. 1

[Maquis]

In Access 97, is there a way to turn off the auto correct typing feature. I've hunted through the menu options and couldn't find it.

Here's my problem in a nutshell. I'm typing words directly into a table and for my project I need to make sure that these words only contain the 26 letters of the English alphabet. (No numbers, no hyphens, no punctuation of any sort!!) However, whenever I type a word such as "entree", Access automatically changes it to "entrée" which causes problems in my app. (Don't ask, long story)

TIA Maq

Hi,

In the Textbox properties theres an option called
ALLOW AUTO CORRECT

maybe you should check that out

Hope it helps!

Hmmm, well I guess I could build a form to type into, but I would rather not if I can avoid it. I'm typing directly into the table and the table itself changes the entry.

I checked the table properties but didn't see that option listed. Maq

Thanks!! That did it.

Geez, I feel like an idiot. I completely skipped over the auto-correct entry in the menu and went straight to &quot;options&quot;. Never even noticed that one. Maq
