Keyboard suddenly requires a "double punch" for action

All of a sudden in one of my Access databases, many of the keys need to be
hit twice in order for their action to "take." For instance, to scroll
through records in form mode, the Page Up an Page Down keys need to be hit
twice to get it to move to the next/previous record. If I open the "find"
window and enter some info to search for, the arrow can be sitting over the
"Find Next" button, but it takes two clicks to get it to work.

what did I do? I opened another database I have and things are working fine
in them.

thanks in advance
 
If it's occurring on just a form (some forms), maybe there is an event
occurring that is causing it.
You might want to check the events for the form, esp. OnTimer.

I didn't find anything like that. Do you or anyone else have another
suggestion? It is occurring only on one form within the program. not on
other forms.

J W,

I don't have any other suggestions off hand. My approach would be to break
it down as much as possible - e.g. Create a new database, and import
everything, re-establish your startup settings. If the new database does it
too, then maybe it has something to do with your startup form, or Auto_exec
macro, ...

Hope that helps.
