access behaviour

[pb21]

Hi all

I am trying to make an on click event. As I type the keyword for example Dim. Dim goes red once I put in the space after it and the mouse goes back.

I want :

Dim CLIIn as String


I dont understand this behaviour.

I am on a client machine with a split database.

Is it something I have done that will not let me add code to the event, if i cut and paste the code in from notepad the code functions.

regards
Peter

I've experienced this bizarre phenomenon a long while back. I can't remember the exact solution but I think I still can some code running in the background. Do you have a timer event running or somehting like that ?

stopher is correct, you have a form open with a timer event.

Thanks The main menu has some timer event on it causing this .

Kind regards for saving my sanity
