AutoPopulate not working

We just upgraded from Xe to 8.11 SP1 (running Tools 8.96) and are having problems with 'AutoPopulate' not working correctly with IE6 (company standard web browser). This setting is set to 'On' - to no effect. Please let me know if anyone else has run into this or has a solution. (We already downloaded & tested the latest IE file 'shdocvw.dll' mentioned in SAR 8114707.)
 
You have to change settings in the JAS.ini as well as in IE at the client. See below, taken from the Garden.

The following are the steps to turns on autocomplete for the web client
1. In the OWWEB section of the JAS.INI add the following setting:-
AutoComplete=ON
2. Auto Complete only works for Internet Explorer and two additional properties must be set. In addition to the JAS.INI setting you must go to Internet Explorer options, select the advanced tab, check the box for "use inline AutoComplete". Then on the content tab, click the AutoComplete button and check the "forms" box to ensure that this functionality will apply to fields on EnterpriseOne screens.
3. Sign in to the web client, and run any application and click the Tools icon in the upper right hand corner, and choose "Options", make sure "autocomplete" is checked.
 
Here are the steps I had to take to get 'AutoPopulate' to work correctly when users enter data in the header section or the QBE grid. This solution is for IE 6 for text data (math numeric fields do not work according to Oracle with Tools 8.96 F1 and later).

This fix includes a Hot Fix to Internet Explorer 6, a registry entry and the appropriate settings set in IE's Internet Options. ('AutoComplete' works with FireFox version 2.0.0.5 without all the trouble required for IE.)

These steps need to be implemented on every local PC.

1. There is a Hot Fix from Microsoft that address a fix for 'AutoComplete' for IE 6. (This fix is not generally available via Windows Update.) Request the Hot Fix from Microsoft for KB 924301 (file: WindowsXP-KB924301-x86-ENU.exe)

A PC reboot is required after this fix is installed.

2. A Windows Registry Entry needs to be added on the local PC.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_INTELLIFORMS_ALTERNATE_RELEASE_KB924301]
New DWORD value
Value name = Iexplore.exe
Value Data = 1
Base = Hexadecimal

3. The following IE 'Internet Options' need to be set.

A. Select the 'Advanced' tab, check the box for 'Use inline AutoComplete'.
B. On the 'Content' tab, click the 'AutoComplete' button and check the 'Forms' box to ensure that this functionality will apply to fields on JDE screens. On this same 'AutoComplete Settings' page, click on both the 'Clear Forms' and 'Clear Passwords' buttons.

4. Sign in to the JDE web client and run any application. Click the Tools icon in the upper right-hand corner, and choose 'Options'. Make sure 'AutoPopulate' is checked.
