    Access 2003 and autocorrect

    I use Access 2003 a lot and use the autocorrect function to input a text string in response to a predetermine keystroke to increase speed of repetitive text entry.

    I've noticed that if I input too may autocorrect key strokes Access stops entering the desired text. When I go to the next field in the form then it will work again. If there a limit on the amount of autocorrect generated text that can be entered on a particular field in a form? And if so is there a way to override this?

    I don't think there's a limit. Are you sure you're not running into a character limit for the field? When the autocorrect stops working, can you manually type in the field?

    Yes I can keep typing. Is there a character limit for the amount of autocorrect text I can input into a field?

    Not that I'm aware of. Can you post your db here and how to recreate the problem?
