Combo box selection

On various forms I have combo boxes with preloaded selections. I
click the down arrow to display the choices. On some of the boxes, if
I type the first letter of the selection (Lets say "C") then the first
"C" choice is highlighted and the drop down is still active, allowing
me to click the one I really want:
("Charlie" and not "Carl").
On other boxes, the first selection is hightlighted and the drop
down is set inactive leaving me with "Carl" in the box when I wanted to
pick "Charlie"
I have checked the properties of both boxes and can find no
difference. I'm using Access 2000
Thanks,
Hank Reed

Check again. Specifically the AutoExpand option.

Hi Everyone- I have a question about how to add and then use the "All" selection in a combo box. I am trying to figure out how to: (1) add "All" as a selection to a combo box and then (2) how to use the selection "All" as criteria for a field in a query, which is used to generate data for a report.

Hi I have a combo box (A) that populates a following combo box (B) based on a selection. The selection from the first combo box (A) initiates an OleDbDataAdapter routine that extracts the values for the second combo box (B) from a database. However, when I choose a value from the first combo box (A), the second combo box (B) populates as required, but if i change my mind about the selection from the first combo box (A) , the second...

Hey everyone, I am having a hell of a time trying to set this menu system up. Here's what I'm trying to do.

Following this, I can now see that my combo2 has no previous elements and contains only the elements relevant to selection in combo1. Now, as soon as I select something in combo 2 and go back to change selection in combo1 the combo2 must get its history cleared up (i.e the previous selection in combo2's entry subwidget)

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
