When doing data entry in data-sheet view, if you enter 2 consecutive integers in a field, the 3rd consecutive integers in the sequence will automatically appear in the 3rd field. If you continue pressing enter (or down, depending on you keyboard settings), you will continue to auto-fill the consecutive integers.

Does anyone know how to disable this feature?

If you wanted more background...

Some of my users use enter data manually in data-sheet view, but they are entering Serial Numbers, often using a barcode reader. Sometimes they are in sequence, sometimes they are not. They find it a nuisance and confusing that a suggested (often incorrect) Serial Number sometimes appears while they do their entries. I know they can just over-write it, but hey, whatever makes 'em happy...
