Autocomplete textbox in MS Access 2016
Hello, is there a feature like autocomplete in newer versions of MS Access (2013-2016)? We need a feature where we type in first couple of characters in a textbox and then see a filtered list bellow that textbox, with values which start with that characters we typed in.
I found an article on Access Web Apps: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-an-autocomplete-control-to-a-view-in-an-Access-app-38dbd28f-7779-477d-b42b-86391620ee6f
And i also found a discussion about autocomplete in here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21401937/How-to-add-an-auto-complete-textbox-control-to-an-MS-Access-Form.html
But since this was a discussion about Access 2000, perhaps something has changed in the meantime? Is there some control like that in newer versions of Access?
We don't mind the coding of the control, but if there's something already pre-set, we would use that feature instead, of course.
Thank you in advance
