It's an oft requested feature. However, if you really need it, there are ways to get it with workarounds. Go to www.databasepros.com and search for "clairavoyance". You'll find a technique file there that can help you. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted November 3, 2000 Share Posted November 3, 2000 A modest approximation of this can easily be achieved by using either the "Paste from Index" or a pop-up list on the field. Both of these entry option allow the user to type on the keyboard and autmaically scroll to the option that best matches the keystrokes. Both of these are a hell of a lot easier to implement that the clairvoyance on databasepros too. Clairvoyance is pretty cool though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
