Type Ahead question

[Morley Chalmers]

When using the type ahead feature I'd like the drop down menu to not display at all or if it must display to be blank until the user begins typing in the data entry field. My users find the scroll list of many hundreds of records confusing when nothing has been entered.

Is this possible?

Kind regards,

What type ahead feature?

Have you tried the "autocomplete using value list" option, in the field format?

Yes I have, and that's what I meant by the term "type ahead." When I enter the empty field, before I've typed anything, a drop down menu appears with all kinds of records. I was hoping the choice of records to "auto complete" could stay blank until the user typed something.

Kind regards,

OK... try turning on the little arrow to show and display the value list. when this is on, the list only appears when the arrow is clicked, otherwise the list appears on field entry.
