Office Professional Power Tip Search as you type

Today&rsquo;s Power Tip comes from Brandon with OpenGate Software,Office Professional, offering Microsoft Access products for Access users of every experience level,Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2010, including UI Builder,Microsoft Office Standard 2010, Designer, and Dashboard Builder for Microsoft Access. "Search-as-you-type" has become a pervasive feature of any modern user interface. For example, the major search engines try to predict what you are searching for as you type in the search box. Access does a version of this when you type into a drop-down box; if one of the items in the list begins with the characters you are entering, the list skips down to that item. However, Brandon's solution acts more like a filter,Microsoft Office 2007 Standard, limiting the list to only those items that contain the characters you have entered. Read the full post on the OpenGate Software site to learn how to add search-as-you-type capability to your own Access forms. Thanks, Brandon,Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007! --Chris Downs Got an Access Power Tip you'd like to share? Send it to accpower@microsoft.com. <div
