How to stop Access from entering data for me??!

[jsteph]

Hi all,
I'm entering data into a table in datasheet mode, and it's doing that Excel thing where it "assumes" that you want to enter sequential numbers or something.

I couldn't find anywhere in Options where it could be turned off...where is this 'feature' set?
Thanks,
--Jim

I don't think there is any way to disable this "feature". Your alternative is to create a form for your data entry.

The other alternative is to move to Access 2007 which doesn't do this (I heard that from someone who LIKED that feature and found it doesn't do it in 2007).
