I'm working on a database which has me typing some survey results into a database. My problem occurs when a few of the values coincidentally appear to be in a sequence. After the second or third number is typed in, Access decides I'm making a sequential list and helpfully fills in the next field. Of course that's NOT what I'm doing, so that number is wrong and I have to doubletake and backspace and fill in the proper number.

Is there any way to turn this off? I poked around in options, but didn't see anything that looked helpful.



I try not to let my ignorance prevent me from offering a strong opinion.
 
Don't waste your time looking for a switch to turn this off. There isn't one.

You should create a form for doing your data entry rather than entering your data directly into a table.
