AutoComplete Input Box, Like Combo?

[Woodman650]

Anyone know if an input box can have an autocomplete like Comboboxes? So say I type the string "Blue House, Red Carpet, Green Grass" and enter it. the next time I go to enter in a value and start typing "Green Grass", the form, auto inserts it, and as I start typing "Blue House", it is also auto inserted. anyone know if this is doable? could be kind of tricky.

Hello:

I do not think that is an option, however, a work around would be to make your own custom InputBox Form and use a combo box as the control on it. That is what I do.

hey mark... that makes sense. do you mean just point the inputbox's control source to a combobox? how would I do that?

I have an example. Is there a way to provide an attachment to a post?

ohh, that'd be great. I don't know of a way to attach files... and we're not supposed to publish e-mails addresses. How are people supposed to get files to each other?! lol.

Ask your question in Access world forums. I've seen you there. They have file attachments.
