Auto Correct Dilemma (MS Access)

110 100+
All,

I have a dilemma with Auto Correct in MS Access (using 2010, but I assume this will be present in all versions).

I currently have the Auto Correct Feature, "Correct 2 capitalized first letters" turned on. Great feature.

However, I also have a custom login form that allows users to enter a user name and password. If the user's password has 2 capital letters (i.e. "GUnner") Access keeps correcting the text thereby disallowing the user to log in. While Access is functioning properly, I'm wondering if there is a way to get around this for just this one field ([txtPassword]) on this one form ([frmLogIn]).

I'm sure I can get around this by setting a module-level variable in the BeforeUpdate() event to allow the user to login but this seems to be skirting the issue - I figured I'd at least post the question.

Kind Regards and happy holidays to the Bytes community.

Open form in design mode
Show the properties panel for the control in question
Click on [OTHER] tab
set the [Allow Auto Correct] property to "No"

save.
tada
-z
BTW: For anyone else, this is valid since ACC2003 thru ACC2010
This can also be set at run time.
