Autocomplete

[broche]

Hi All,

I can't get autocomplete to work as I expected.  I have read the forum articles and tried to follow the suggestions to no avail.

I am expecting the following to happen:
User opens form
User clicks on Customer field which is set as autocomplete and has lookup turned on
I have a unique key defined for the customer name, the field the user is looking up is the customer ID also unique
I expect the autocomplete to suggest possible matches after 2 keystrokes but nothing happens at all, except when user tabs off the field I get an invalid customer id message.
If the user clicks the '?' then the popup selection table comes up and all is good.
However the users want the autocomplete.

I tried the examples and it does not seem to work in them either - #31 and #53

Hi Bruce:

I upgraded an app from NT7 to NT8.

In NT7 the "autocomplete" work perfectly.

But in NT8 the autocomplete not work.

I tried the example 49 and i can´t get the autocomplete function.

My app use mysql, is not easy make an example for send. Only confirm if "autocomplete" is ok then i'm failing.

Thanks

I am also having  problem with AutoComplete.

My app worked great up to 8.25 after that the AutoComplete does not work for me.
I can enter data in to the field but the drop down box does not display.
