Howard,
Just a thought but if you haven't tried this it may be worth a shot. In
Internet Properties \ Content tab \ Auto Complete, use the "Clear Forms"
button (since it isn't working anyway). Insure everything is checked and
re-start. Maybe starting with a clean slate will restore the function.
You don't mention his OS or the version of IE he has. An update of IE, if he
doesn't have the latest, should solve the problem as should a re-install of
IE.
RoboForm is a pain to use. If he doesn't mind the spyware, Gator is about as
good a choice as any.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Form filling software... unusual client
I used AdAware and SpyBot to clean a users system recently (without advising
him that it might uninstall something he needs) and it removed the ability
to just click a form online, like at CNN.com (a little stock quote box), and
it would fill in his last used words. IE and Outlook Express will
auto-fill your address in email, auto-complete www pages, etc., but what
spyware will fill in the stuff he wants? I tried RoboForm and he complains
he has to click too much. He wants autocomplete to be enabled everywear on
every www page regardless of the spyware-malware potential! Does anyone on
this list know of a spyware program that does this job (never thought I
would be asking this)? I should say that this client has a disability (or
ability?) to converse in any language fluently but cannot read or write well
at all. He prefers his home page in Hebrew (?!?), does daily business in
Portuguese and reads CNN news in English. Fluent in Spanish, French, German
and Russian! He is computer illiterate and only wants to turn it on and
have it work. I would like to help this guy if it is possible. Thanks!
