This article was previously published under Q178778



SYMPTOMS
If there are more than 102 rows since the last occurrence of an item in a list, AutoComplete will not work unless you are within 50 rows of the last occurrence of the item. However, the Pick From List feature works correctly.

NOTE: AutoComplete also will not work at 102 rows after the occurrence of the item if that cell is not blank.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if there are more than 102 non-blank rows in a column since an item last occurred.



WORKAROUND
You can select from a list of entries already in the column. To display the list, press OPTION+DOWN ARROW, or hold down CONTROL, click the cell, and then click Pick From List on the shortcut menu.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
