Quirk writing vba

[StephenB]

I have a quirky problem in '97. Being a self taught beginner I often rely on the properties/methods and contants lists to help me finish statements correctly. More frequently though, the lists are flashing so quickly I can't read or scroll through the list. Even when I right click and select a list, it just flashes.

At first I thought it was the on timer function, but the form I'm working on doesn't have anything on timer.

Any suggestions on what I can check?

I'm having this problem just now with a database that has a module to detect the idle time and make a user log in again after 15 minutes of inactivity. I can't even step through code because it just loops through the idle time code! I have to close the form whenever I'm working in the VBA
