Access2003....

The Auto Expand for my comboboxes does not seem to be working ?

Even if i type an entire word that i know is in the list it does not pick up on it and i have no idea why.

The autoexpand is set to yes.

If i place another combobox on the form and set it up in the normal fashion (with a query as rowsource) then the autoexpand for ALL comboboxes on the form work ?

Alternatively if i refresh the links to the .mdb back-end then the auto expand works as well.

However if i exit the front-end and go back in they do not work ????

I can't fathom it out as they look as though they should be ok ?

Any ideas ?

problem solved.....

i had the SQL Server Compatible Syntax checkbox ticked in the Tables/Queries tab under Tools > Options

as soon as i unticked it the comboboxes all worked properly.

i guess it is something to do with the way the list is searched whilst being typed into and the SQL syntax it uses.
