Lookup Exact Registry entry
Specify that a value entered into a Lookup List field must match exactly with an existing value in the Lookup List.
This entry ensures that if a term entered into a Lookup List field varies from an existing term (due to case or punctuation for instance), the user is notified that a new term has been entered, allowing them to add the variation to the list or choose an existing term. In a ReadOnly Lookup List it is necessary to choose an existing value (no variation will be recognized as correct).
As a consequence of EMu's support for Unicode, it is important to keep in mind when working with Lookup List values that punctuation and diacritics are significant when comparing values: Zoe and Zoƫ are different Lookup List values for instance.
System Administrators must be aware of this when setting the Lookup Exact Registry entry.
