Blck Highlight Error

[GUIDO22]

On occasion and on different machines - I get a recurring fault where the mouse decides to block highlight all rows of a table view of a form. This is not constrained to Access specifically and appears in other Windows apps. as well....

No combination of mouse clicks/ key presses will remove it and this is only cancelled by a reboot. Is this a software fault or hardware?


Thanks

It isn't an Access issue, it is a WINDOWS issue. I get that too sometimes while working with Excel, or in Windows Explorer. I believe it has to do with certain set of Keystrokes that accidentally get pressed, like holding down Ctrl + ALT + Shift or some combination thereof. I haven't figured out the exact key sequence, but I get it too and usually just reboot to reset.

Thats reassuring - and good to know that this is a known reset - but the fault is a real problem when it is happening more than once a day and seriously affects productivity..!
