I am tasked with maintaining another author's database, and I can't figure
out how he turned off the autocomplete feature in the IDE, for example:

1) Start a line with "Me." and see a list of objects appear for the current
form or report.
2) Type a couple of letters, press the tab key and the object's full name is
added to the statement.
3) Type another trailing period and a list of the object's methods and
properties appears.
4) Type a couple of letters, press the tab key and the property is added the
statement.

Without autocomplete I can't be sure I'm even typing the name correctly,
although the IDE assumes I know what I'm doing and adds reasonable
capitalization.  Where can I enable this?  All of the databases I have
authored already work this way, but this database had restrictions imposed to
prevent inadvertent user tampering (there are hidden windows and forms don't
always have size controls).

Thanks, Alan
