For all of you that feel this Auto-Fill nonsense is a  pain in the a$$, 
well...you're all out of poopy luck. This is a built in feature  and there's 
not really much you can do about it. 
If never the less, this  really bites you then what you can do is mull over 
this little thought. Tables  are for storing data and Forms are a pretty 
good and flexible interface for a ways and means of supplying that data. 

Try making a Continuous Form and design  it to simulate your Table 
Datasheet view. Don't try and make a Datasheet Form  because you'll just end up 
with 
the same nonsense.

If it's any comfort...I've read somewhere that Microsoft has widely  heard 
about this complaint and removed this feature or has implanted a means to  
disable it in Access 2007.

Wonder  why....

I think the  autocomplete is shared across Office apps so you may need to go
into Excel  or Word to turn it off.

Subject: [mso] How to turn off auto-complete in  Access?

I am using Access 2003, and in this particular case I am  entering data
directly into the tables, tabbing across the  fields.

There is an irritating "feature" I would like to disable. If I  enter 1 in a
field, tab to the next and enter 2, tabbing to the following  fields
increments  by 1 each time, so it is attempting to second-guess  me
(incorrectly.)

I searched, but couldn't find any way to turn this  off (or, indeed, any
reference to it at all in the  "Help."

Thanks

Peter
