text repeat in access

B

Bkellie

How do you get the text to repeat in access in tables/cells or forms when
entering text? I know it can be done. I just can't find the option. This
text will automatically apprear if it thinks it knows what you are going to
type. How do I get my fields to allow this repeat/memory?

Thanks- new db. builder...

Bkellie,

You can use a keyboard shortcut, as shown in this article:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010546551033.aspx

Insert the data from the same field in the previous record: CTRL+'

Alternatively, you can define which fields you want to be automatically populated with the
contents of the previous record by using a VBA procedure, as outlined in the following KB
article:

How to fill record with data from previous record automatically in Access 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=210236
Note: Although this article indicates "Access 2000" in the title, it should work equally well in
Access 2002 or 2003.

There is no need to post the same question 2 times in a four minute window. Please be patient
instead.

Thank you so much. I will give it a try. No harm meant by posting the two
messages. I closed the window by accident after the first post and did'nt
know how to get it back, so I started over.

Lack of knowledge.

Thanks.
