[AccessD] Combo box auto completing

AccessXP mde.

I have a drop down list with names of 
businesses.  It is set up so that when the user 
starts typing the first match is filled in.  The 
letters typed in are clear and the remaining 
letters of the match are highlighted.

In some cases, even though the whole name has not 
been typed in, the rest of the name automatically 
becomes unselected.  The user then needs to 
delete the matched letters they have NOT typed in 
to be able to continue typing to get the match they want.

It seems to be when the business name includes 
the word Cafe.  We have changed autocorrect so 
that Cafe is not automatically changed to Café 
(with the squiggle over the e) but this doesn't seem to have helped.

I think it may be settings as some computers work 
fine - only some have this problem. Although they 
are running the program through terminal server 
so I would have thought that they should all react the same.

Any thoughts what may be the problem?
