auto type

P

Pammy

I do not know what is set up, but I have a table to type a list of names
(Last name, first initial) but for some reason when I type a last name and a
F. it pops up Friday. It has done this on several with the first initial F.
I do not know how to turn this off. Please help,

Someone might have added F. as Friday in the list of Autocorrect options.
It's not that way be default. Assuming Access 2003, go to Tools, Options,
Spelliing tab and look for the Autocorrect button. See if F is listed there.

Another option is to open the form in design view. Right click on the text
box and bring up its Properties. Got toe the Other tab and turn Allow
AutoCorrect to No. Unfortunately you need to do this on every text box where
you have such problems. I haven't found a quick setting to disable it across
the database.

However you said table and tables don't have Autocorrect. Therefore there's
a possibility that you have a Lookup field there. Open the table in design
view and click on the problem field. Go down to the General tab and select
the Lookup tab. If you see a bunch of stuff there, that's the problem.
