"auto" backspace in vb code?! AC97

[mattkorguk]

Hi,
Every now and then, in Access 97, it would appear that the backspace key is being pressed while trying to edit/ write code!
It's the most annoying thing ever as you're trying to type away and say you type an "=" and go to type false, it puts a space in just after you've typed "fa" so you end up with the cursor just after the "=" sign again!

It can't just be me! Has anyone else found this, or a solution would be great!

You're describing behavior that happens when a timer event is executing and you're trying to write code. If you have a form open with a timer running close the form and this should stop the behavior, if you used the SetTimer API then you may need to close and reopen the application if you don't know the Timer handle to pass to the KillTimer function.
