Note

If you do not define a view name in the Popup View property for autocomplete and combo box controls, Access Services does not display related data as a hyperlink in view mode. Access Services displays the data as normal text, which means that you cannot open a view to see the related record details. You might want to leave the Popup View property blank in some cases, such as when you are viewing data that you do not want users of your app to modify.

In Figure 6-79, you’ll notice that Access Services displays the text Vendors in the upper-left corner of the popup view. When you previously customized and opened this view from the Table and View Selector, Access Services did not display that text within the view. This text is defined in the view’s Caption property, and Access Services displays the caption text within the view itself only when you open it as a pop-up view. If you want to change the default text Access defined for this property (the name of the source table), you can open the view in Design view from within Access and change the Caption property text.

We don’t need to change any data for this vendor record displayed here in the pop-up view, so close this Vendors pop-up view by clicking the Close (X) button in the view window. Access Services closes the pop-up view and returns focus to the Invoice List Details view.

To see how autocomplete controls work in the web browser in edit mode, let’s create a new invoice record in this view. To create a new record in a List Details view, click the Add Action Bar button or press N if your focus is on the List Control. Access Services switches the view into edit mode for a new record and places the insertion point in the first enabled control, the autocomplete control bound to the Vendor field, as shown in Figure 6-80. Notice that, in Figure 6-80, I moved the focus to the Invoice Number text box so that you could see the default Input Hint control property text Access applied to the autocomplete control for the Vendor field.
