>i guess i will have to take a pass on this feature - i was hoping to add it to all search entry points. right now i have it set up to accept an entry after a return - do a search and reveal all records with those letters in a drop down menu from which the operator selects - much the same as autocomplete, but with the added return inbetween. - i can live with it - just not as handy or visually smooth as autocomplete.
Actually I think the autocomplete table is being filled during use, not from the already existing values in the field. But you can write a little script to populate that table.
