vba window acting on its own

[shutzy]

i have made some changes and i think i have change a setting that is becoming very annoying.

in the code window if i type

Docmd.Runcommand

and then put a space after it to continue with the code it will delete the space.

if i then continue with

Docmd.Runcommand ac

it will usually come up with a list but it isnt. i dont know what i have done to cause this but hopefully someone can help.

thanks

shutzy, see if you have a OnTimer event set in any of the forms.. This is mostly categorized by setting the timer very low..

ah yes. that would make sense. i have a 1000 timer on my opening form. it does go with the timing. thank for that.

is there anyway of getting around this apart from closing the form?

You can set a bigger interval on the timer.. 1000 causes the Form to flicker (if there are some objects like images) a lot.. So think back if you really want 1000 as the timer.. Other option is to disable the Timer temporarily..
