I am new to Act! and what I would like to do is turn off the automatic spelling of whatever I last searched for in "Lookup". Whenever I type a name of what I want to look up, the last thing I typed in always appears, e.g. when I type in John Hall and then I do another look up for someone called John Doe, the moment I type the letter J, John Hall appears automatically. Is there anyway to disable that feature? It is driving me nuts and I have checked the preferences section and have found nothing that will turn it off. Thank you.

Very Basic Question regarding lookups?

Go to Edit/Define Fields.
In the left-hand list, select the field that's driving you nuts. Select the 'Drop-Down' tab and deselect 'Automatically Add New Items' and select 'Allow Editing.
OR, if you want to have names added to a drop-down list, make sure 'Allow Editing' is also selected. Then if you want to edit a name in a list you'll have the option. 'Edit' will appear at the bottom of the drop-down list when you click in the field in question.
Hope that helps.
