VBA problem driving me nuts!!!

[saharlan]

HELP!!!

All of a sudden when I type in the VB editor of a form
each character typed turns red and it automatically erases spaces that I type. I used to be able to type a whole line before the editor would evaluate my typing. Does anyone have an idea of whats going on????

I had that problem once, don't know why it started doing it though. I copied all my tables, forms etc into a new db and it worked fine again

IMO

Sounds like you have a timer event happening somewhere (like on a main form that is open while you are doing editing). Make sure all forms are either in design mode or closed while editing and look for some form that has it's timer enabled.

Good luck!

timer event

Is there a way to turn off the timer event when editing another form without putting my logon screen in design mode??

My timer event is on the login screen and I make it invisible after login so I can grab custom security info from it for other forms and reports... I really dont want to have to disable the logon form every time I want to edit another form.

Why are you editing your database with a timer running?

Ctrl + Break should stop it.
