Ok I'm further on. It's not that it's mdb-specific, it's something else. It happens if there's code running. So if I have a form open (I mean in Form View not design) and I F6 switch round to the database window, open a module and start work that's when it happens. If there's no code running it doesn't. I still don't think this used to happen though. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: Re: [AccessD] Syntax Corrections Date: 18/11/05 16:21 Hi Jim Unless I'm going blind (perfectly possible) A97 doesn't have an AutoCorrect in Tools Options. It has all kinds of other things, like Auto Syntax Check, which I've tried unchecking, but if it's a combination of these then I haven't hit on the right combination yet. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: Re: [AccessD] Syntax Corrections Date: 18/11/05 16:12 Turn off Auto Correct in tools/options.

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 -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com ________________________________________________ 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 ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2
