Apologies for posting a usage question in a developers' forum. If anyone knows of a better place, don't hesitate to tell me where to shove it (ho, ho). Encarta 2000 has an auto-complete feature for queries. Personally, I don't like it as it corrupts what I'm typing and almost always changes it to something I don't want. I can't find any way of disabling it in the user interface. Does anyone know of a registry hack? John
