I am finding the auto complete drop down window is closing within a second of opening on some occasions. You have no time to make a selection. This didn't happen in the first version we down loaded. Also some times it doesn't open at all.
I have noticed that if you enter a character that does not exist the window closes. eg You can type "AB" a get a window of suggestions but if you type "ABC" and there is no "ABC" (it might be "ABD" as the next valid value) your window closes as well.
It would be better to show "ABD" as a start (when you type "ABC") than close the window.

We are unable to recreate this problem. Also the auto complete example program in the samples library for 2.1.0 seems to work without these problems.

Probably your best bet is to contact support and send an example screen/program. We'll be glad to test with it to determine what is causing the problem. You can send to:

I have recompiled the RPG and that seems to have made a difference. But the window still closes if you type in a partial name that does not exist - even in the samples libarary.

This is correct.

The auto-complete searches for records where the nominated field starts with the text entered by the user in the textbox. If there is no match, no records will be returned
