[mso] Re: Data entry in Access 2003

In 2003 for me I get different effects for horizontal vs vertical.  With 
horizontal:

- If I use tab to move between fields, it will pre-fill.
- If I use right arrow to move between fields (which is what I do) or mouse, 
it doesn't pre-fill

With vertical (using down arrow or mouse), it will pre-fill.

But it only does it if the difference is +1 or +2, not for any other 
increments I've tried.  And the suggested number is highlighted ready to 
simply be overtyped.

So it shouldn't slow you down at all.  No extra keystrokes are needed.

And just occasionally, it's right.  :-)

PS  I agree it was a silly "feature" and would turn it off if I could. 
Instead, I just ignore it.
