I run into this when a form is open and firing the timer event. The timer event (and code) running causes an attempted compile of the code I am working on and the compile process does weird things.

Access 97. This has started fairly recently and I'm not aware of having changed any setting to cause it. What it is is that as I type code Access will, on occasions, 'correct' it as I type. Let me give you an example. I type: strA=strA & " I haven't finished the line but sometimes (and always if I hesitate long enough) Access will automagically add spaces either side of the = for me and a second " so that what I now have is strA = strA & "" Now that's ok except that while 3 characters have thus been added to the line the cursor hasn't moved. Instead, therefore, of being at the end of the line it's now 3 spaces before the end (immediately after the & in my example). If I'm not looking at the screen and keep typing my text then when I do eventually look up, or just hit enter at what I think is my line end, the statement is shot to pieces. I've tried unchecking various Options (eg Auto Syntax Check) but I can't seem to stop it. I swear that what used to happen was that this tidying up occurred only when I hit Enter at the end of a line. Doing it while I'm still typing the line is doing my head in. Does anyone know how I switch this behaviour off? -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
