Access : Automatic filling a field by typing

Hi all,

i've been working with an Access Database for several years. The database works perfectly, but since I've upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 Professional (64bit) the automated suggestion when typing in a field doesn't work anymore... or only for word beginning with A, B or C.

Of course I can manually use the rolling to find what I'm looking for, but it's a huge loss of time. My database has 27'000 records and I'm really embarrassed now !

If you look at the filed "Appellation" : usually when I type St-J then the system should automatically suggest "St-Julien" as it has already been used many times.

Many Thanks for your support !

Yves

bring your form in design view and click on the troubled combobox.
on it's Property Window (right pane)->Data, Auto Expand should be set to Yes.

  arnel_gpmany thanks for your input. Your solution did not solve the issue. But, actually, it's very tricky, the problem only occurs on a computer with Windows 11 Professional... i'm speechless 😞

    avez vous eu une réponse à votre problème ? car nous avons exactement le même.
