I just checked that, William, and mine does the same thing. This is a glitch in the program that needs fixing. I also checked whether, if you went ahead and typed the full replacement word out, it would replace with the full word. It doesn't, it simply replaces the word with the last letter typed. I did it several times, and it repeats consistently. Here is the exact problem. In Options/Customize, under the Data Entry/Edit tab, Field Entry Highlight Behavior, select Highlight Entire Field. Save the setting. Go to Search/search and replace. Type in the word to search for, tab to the replace-with field and start typing the replacement word. Only one character appears in the field - and each character you type replaces the last character typed. I didn't replace anything, but in the screen which shows the replacement that will occur, only the last letter is shown as the replacement. -jcl John Lancaster Freelance Business/Tech Writer Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webpage: http://home.swbell.net/jclanc/ > > > As I noted just after the new upgrade, I have lost my highlit "Find What" > field in search and replace.
