Copy auto correct entries to another computer
How do I copy my auto correct entries from one computer to another in ms access. I am using an Australian English version.

auto correct entries ?? from a computer in Australia to another one in France?? Maybe you mean the two computers are on the same network - in which case it would have been useful to say so.

I am wanting to copy the autocorrect entries in MS Access from my laptop to my desktop because my hard drive crashed.

If the harddrive has crashed then how do you plan on retrieving that data?

I have it on my laptop and have now got a new hard drive in my desktop. I want to copy the files from my laptop. A technician who is no longer around copied them onto my laptop for me from my desktop some time back. I am now trying to do the same but vice versa.

Oh Ok. I believe you meant the auto correct entries for Word. Follow the link that I gave in my first post. copy the relevant file to the new hard drive and simply follow the instructions mentioned there.

I am not wanting auto correct entries for word but for MS Access. I do my invoicing in Access and have set up numerous auto correct entries which I want to copy accross.

I'm afraid the words are getting in the way. What do you mean by 'I have set up numerous auto correct entries...' - do you mean you have several UDF's that do the checking?

Thank-you for your reply. I am using Windows XP on my desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop (where I am copying from) and I have copied the file MSO2057 which is in the Laptop but it still doesn't work. I can't find MSO 1049,acl at all. I know it should work because it has in the past but I just can't get the right file in the right place.
Actually I copied all the MSO files from office in my laptop but still no luck.

I hope you have similar office versions on both machines?
In Windows XP File should be in:
Documents and Settings\UserNAme\Applicat ion Data\Microsoft\Office\MSO2 057.acl
Check size and date of the file. If you are using spell ACL actively, size of your language file should be more others.
Office language options on both machines should also be same.

As I can find:
MSO2057.acl- UK English file.
MSO1033.acl- US English file

I have worked out the problem but can't find how to correct it. I have just discovered that the AutoCorrect on my desktop is using English (IUS) even though my default language is set to English (Australian). Do you have any idea on how I can fix this. I can't find any other setting in Access to change.
Can this be changed somewhere in the registry? I am not familiar enough with the registry to know just what to do or where to go.
