Combo Box lookup not working correctly

[Markus]

Hi All,

I got here a problem with a drop down menu (Combo box
look-up) on a form. It is suppossed to look-up a record in
my form which it does fine.
The problem is actually in the "Auto expand" function. It
is supposed to jump in the list (of ~3000 entries) to the
letter that is typed in the combo box.
I.e. if you type "Be" it would jump in the list to the
record that starts with "Be" (example "Bearing")
I did activate in the drop down menu properties the
function "Auto Expand" to "yes". But it does not work.

I also have to mention, that if you create a new Combo box
in the same form, all the combo boxes on the form work as
supposed to ("Auto expand" works).
But the moment I save the form or close and reopen it, the
"Auto Expand" function is no longer working.
About the form:
I got about 30 Combo boxe on the form tht act as a lookup
and the database is replicated. (It seems to have developed
that behaviour after I replicatd it and added more look-up
combo boxes)

Any help is greatly appriciated,
Thanks!

My first guess is that the form is corrupted. I suggest that you build a new
form and see if that cures the problem.
