    Autocompletion for columns of a Datasheet

    In Excel, when the user starts typing in a Cell, if any of the other entries of the column match the characters typed, Excel will complete the entry with one of the matching other entries. Is there a simple way to mimic this behavior with the Fields of a Datasheet? Thanks! Rich

    Does 'acFormatRTF' support lines?

    I have an invoice report with a few 2-pt. horizontal lines. The look great as a preview, but when I export them to Microsoft Word as an RTF file using "DoCmd.OutputTo,...acFormatRTF,..." I lose the lines. Does RTF not support lines? Thanks! Rich

    Starting and Ending an invoice with a "$"

    Your suggestion got me heading in the right direction. The "On Format" event gets triggered for every detail in my report. If I put in the line: MsgBox "Subtotal:" & lblSubtotal.OldValue Then every time my report opens it shows a series of dialog boxes starting with the...
