Hi all

Doing some work on a database both from home and work, at home, I start typing, for eg "docmd." and then a list pops on, and stays there allowing you to select from the list and press tab to accept it, however at work, the list sort of flashes on then disapears! also at work, it tends to try and autocorrect, putting quotes all over the place as I type, and I cant for the life of me find the options to change this, can anyone help ? Access 2000 on both.

TIA
 
Are you using a timer event in any of the open forms? If so, trun it off while you are coding.

Also, if your resources are low, Access freaks out with problems like yours. The only way to restore your system resources is to reboot.

HTH
 
Thanks for the reply, unfotunately the reasons you mentioned dont apply :( I tried making a new db with like one form and a command button, same thing, as soo as I type, it "takes over", puts spaces, takes spaces out, for eg if I type "dim db as " then as soon as I type say "d" for database, it removes the space after "as" and if I type a double quote, it very kindly puts ANOTHER one there!, system at work is a athlon xp 2000 with 1.5 gig ram, I did have other stuff open, and tried a reboot anyway but no joy, it does seem like theres some autocomplete thing turned on, but I cant for the life of me find it, turned off the ones I found but still the same.
