Has anyone had success with the autocomplete box.  I can query the rest site with state_name like 'A%' and it returns serveral states right away.  in my workflow, in the form makes the same query  (state_name like 'var%' , but text box does not reveal the next state name the the prefix.  I was wondering what I am doing wrong.

  Jim,

  the Autocomplete option has a setting for the minimum no. of characters to accept before hitting the server for results - if this is more than 1 then something like 'A%' will not return anything (unlike the Rest query)... have you looked at this setting?

  cheers

  Thanks for the response.  I have more questions.

  so in my query of the rest service, pretending I want all States that start with the letter "A"  should my query be state_name = "A"  ?  that should retrieve Alaska, Alabama, etc

  or should it be like this:

  state_name like "'" & "A" & "%'"

  and set the minimum prefix length to 2?

   

  or like this:

  state_name like '%'

  and set the minimum prefix length to 1?

   

  I always appreciate folks who help with my dumb questions, so thanks in advance!
