troubleshooting Question
Dropdown Autofill Error When Caps ON
asked on
Hello Experts,
I have a rather strange incident occuring in my Access dropdown controls, that i'll try to explain.
Lets say i have a dropdown with the following values:
Apples
Appricots
Oranges
Normally, when caps lock is off and i start typing app each letter is overwriten until the user finds a match, as it is expected.
However, when caps is on and i start typing APP the first p is converted to lower-case and the autocorect icon pops up, however the second i type in the 3rd letter it contines caps, and the dropdown stops overwritting, so i end up with ApPLESples
How come it stops replacing? Is there an easy fix to this, or should i have on every dropdown's gotFocus turn-off caps. I'm not even sure if this is possible?
Any thoughts?
