I have a database that I am working on. It was developed by a developer
outside of our company. When I try to modify the code to make changes it
doesn't act like normal. It immediately changes any text to red and it
doesn't do the autocomplete. When you type me. it will bring up the box to
select the method or control and then it immediately dissapears. Is there
some setting in Access that can restrict a person from editing. I have
checked the security section, but it looks like there are no restrictions on
users. Thanks for any ideas.
 
Hi Jason,

Have you checked the options in the VBA module window? Open the module you
wish to change and click on the tools menu and choose options. You should
check to see which options are checked off.
 
That sounds like what happens when you try to edit code while a form is open
in form view and there is code running in the form's Timer event.

me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to

newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
 
Man, good call. I went in and did a search for "timer" and commented out the
timer. Now it works fine. Thanks for the help.
