When I am inputting a location that is already in my location list,
the full location will autofill after the first few letters. If I use
your example - Louise Street, Saskatoon, SK, Canada, after I enter it
once all I have to do for any record is to enter "lou" and the
location autofills with Louise Street, Saskatoon, SK, Canada. How many
letters you need to enter depends on what else you have in your
location DB - I have London so that comes up first but I just continue
and enter the "u" and Louise St ...etc . autofills.
I know this isn't exactly what your asking for but it seems just as
efficient and easy. I don't think I ever enter more then a few letters
before each location fills.
I'm pretty new to Legacy so I'm not sure if I've turned on some
feature, but I assumed it was just part of the system.
