Form/subform textbox problem

[kukulaka]

Hi All,

I have a FrmMain and then a Frm_Controller as a subform. The subform has an unbound textbox which users put a search word in. The data in this is then used for a search.

For most users this function works correctly (they each have a copy of the same frontend on their pcs) but I have one user who cannot enter any data into the textbox except "+" and "-". I have loaded the subform as a normal form and the textbox behaves normally. It is only when it is a subform that it shows this weird behavior.

I have checked all the normal things (that the textbox is enabled ect..) but this one has me stumped. It is also strange that out of the 50 people using a copy of frontend only one user is affected like this when all the copies of the frontend are the same!

Any help anyone can give would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

My only suggestion at this time would be to ensure that the person being affected has exactly the same service packs, updates etc running as the other users. I have had users who have had similar problems and ensuring uniformity between all pc's has helped me.

cheers - thanks for you help.

I'll have to get on to our help desk guys in that case as you need admin rights on the machines to do anything.

probably take them about six months to sort it. oh well....
