Focus jumps out of control

[Guest]

I recently modified a form and a strange thing began to occur. A Text Box
control which was not even touched began to act strangely. When I go to a new
record the Text box is set to tabstop 0 and it gets the focus. It will keep
the focus until I begin to type, it automatically jumps to the next tabstop
after a set time, approx .5 sec.

If I type fast I can get two or three letters typed, if I type slow only one
letter is typed before it jumps. If I return to the control it acts normally
and keeps the focus until I hit ENTER. Once the record is saved the text box
acts normal also.

This is really annoying. Anybody got any ideas?

I have been using Access now for years and this is a first for me. Your help
is greatly appreciated. PS this is in Access 2000.

I have never experienced this, but the first two places I would look would be
to see if there is anything in the Change event of the haunted text box and
to see if the form timer is set and, if so, what it is doing.
