combobox text display error
Anyone come across this? With capslock on, typing into a combobox after a few
letters are typed in, the text in the combobox fleshes itself out, but not in the normal way. The normal way is for Access to display in the combobox the first entry in the list that starts with the letters typed in by the user eg type in "ha" and the text in the combo box might display "Hackett Craig" if that is the first entry in the list that begins with the letters "ha". But what's happening in this situation is after "ha" is typed in, the "w" is typed in (so the first 3 letters typed in are now "haw", the text displayed in the combobox is "HaWckett Craig" - and there is no such name in the combo box list. However, there ARE names in the list beginning with "haw" but these are not automatically displaying, which you would expect them to. Wierd. |

I would look for code running in the combo box's Change event, or KeyPress, KeyDown, or KeyUp. Another possibility is something happening in the form's Timer event, if that is enabled. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) |

I would look for code running in the combo box's Change event, or KeyPress, KeyDown, or KeyUp. Another possibility is something happening in the form's Timer event, if that is enabled. Access 2003 SP2. Nope, no code for any events at all for the control. Its on the main form and there are also two subforms on that form, whose queries use what's in the combobox as a parameter, so they dont directly "touch" the combo box either. Also, it only occurs when the CAPS LOCK key is on. Yeah I know its odd, first time I've seen it either. Stranger still its happening on some workstations and not others, even if the full Access version number and service pack level is identical, and hardware originally all bought to same specs and in same batch. The front and back end are on a server but Access isn't installed on the server, and the workstations all have shortcuts loading Access up locally on the worksation with the front end on the server as the mdb to use, (which is linked to tables in the backened on the server). I've got them checking the state of Windows updates, service packs hotfixes etc for each different workstation. Best I can think of at the moment. |
