'Intellisense' and Do.Cmd SendObject

Hello All

I am using Access97.

I think the functionality that I have lost is called 'Intellisense', whereby
each parameter in the syntax of a command is highlighted in turn as the
command is written. On my PC, after pressing, say, Do.Cmd SendObject, then
the spacebar, I get a fleeting glimpse of the rest of the syntax, then it
annoyingly disappears. If I keep my finger on the space bar the remaining
syntax flashes up constantly - but obviously I can't carry on writing the
command.

I have looked in Tools>Options, etc., and have unset and reset the varous
relevant-looking choices, but to no avail.

The other problem I have is more specific: using 'Do.Cmd SendObject',
'snapshot' format appears to be unavailable: is that true?

Hope someone can help.

Many thanks
Leslie Isaacs
 
Make sure you don't have a form open (visible or invisible)with a timer
running. This steals the focus from the editor and causes many coding
annoyances.

You can copy this line and paste it into the immediate window to find
the culprit (Access won't let you type very well if timers are firing:
-----Coax this code into a single line and copy it------
For f = 0 to Forms.Count - 1: Print Forms(f).Name,
Forms(f).TimerInterval:Next f
-----
Then

DoCmd.Close acForm, "YourOpenFormName"

any that have a non-zero value in the right column.

HTH,

Kevin
