Hi

When I go to my forms underlying code and type something
like:

Me.

where normally I would get a pop up listing all available
commands I get a split second view of the listing which
then disapears and the line of text turns red until I have
manualy entered the rest such as

Me.Refresh

Have I switched something off or on mistakenly or is the
problem more menacing?
 
Try compiling your application (Under the Debug menu when you're in the VB
Editor). It's possible there's something wrong somewhere else in your
application that's causing the problem.

No that does not work. Curious, when I type anything it
now turns red and when I press space bar the cursor jumps
back to the end of the previous text stopping me from
creating spaces between code. Is this wierd or what?
 
I've seen this happen if you have something running on a form's timer event
while you're trying to do the edit. It doesn't have to be the same form as
the one you're editing.
 
Thank you I think you got it. Cheers!!
