    Access 2003 defaults

    Hi
    Does anyone know how to chage the
    following default setting in Access 2003?

    Under "Find and Replace" the default setting
    is "Whole Field", I want to change it to
    "Any Part of Field".

    Is there any way to do this?

    Thanks, Bob

    Choose Options from the Tools menu. On the Edit/Find tab, set:

    Default find/replace behavior

    to:

    General Search

    If I remember correctly, you'll have to close Access then re-open it before this change takes place.

      To do it in code would be:
      Code:
      Application.SetOption "Default find/replace behavior", 1

        Keeping in mind that after the code executes, Access still has to be closed then re-opened before the changes take place.
