Ok, wizards. Here's a puzzle.
I have a combo box based upon a query. The query uses a table of personal names, and returns only one field, last name, in ascending order, for all records containing a last name (is not null). It is further limited by using the 'distinct' parameter; so when the list drops down, I see one of each last name contained in my data table. So far so good.
The combo works most of the time. I begin to type a name, autofill tries to guess what I want, and I can either hit enter to select what's showing or click with the mouse to select what I see in the list. But not with 'Cotten.'
When I type 'Cott" I can see the last name "Cotten." If I use the mouse and click on "Cotten" that value will be indeed be selected in the combo box. If, however, I hit 'enter' to choose "Cotten" when it is highlighted the box immediately loads up "Cotton" instead! What's up with that?
Any ideas?
