overtype in SQL

[vickiwells]

All of a sudden, when I try to insert characters in an existing SQL statement or field property, it's overtyping the existing text instead of inserting. Have I accidentally changed a setting somewhere?

had a similar problem which only rebooting would cure.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but you hadn't accidentally hit the 'Insert' key on your keyboard had you? ('OVR' appears at the bottom right of the Access window and anything you type overwrites).

I feel like such a dummy! Yes, it was the insert key on my keyboard. That's one I never use, and I didn't have a clue what I might have done to cause it. Thanks!
