I have observed recently that whenever I am working in the code window my 
cursor is jumping backwards and not staying in position when I press the 
tab key.  

I am in the properties window and trying to set the default value for a 
control.  I type =Date() and the moment I type the last character the 
cursor jumps  backwards and keeps deleting what I typed.  

I am typing the word Value and when I type Val the cursor jumps back 
between the V and the l and I end up with end up with Vauel.  On other 
occasion when I type a word and press the space bar the jumps back 
deleting the space and I end up with two words with no space between them.

This is not a problem with the keyboard because it is happening with 
several computers even one brand new being used for the first time.  This 
does not seem to happen with Word or Excel.

Has any one come across a problem like this and can advise me?

Does this only happen in Access?  Could it be a hardware problem or a virus.
I have never seen this in Access.
