Crazy Thing happening

Kenny Alligood · February 5th, 2004, 04:56 PM

Has anyone ever experienced an issue with the VBE where it automatically backspaces after each space to where the words are run together in a continuous string if you are not paying attention? For example:

If I am entering the following -- DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMain"
I end up with -- docmd.openform"frmMain"

Also as this is happening it appears that the intellisense functionality is not working either; it does not offer the drop down to choose events or properties and it also is not autocapitalizing the control names, events, and properties.

I have verified through options that all of this is turned on and should be working. I have also compiled the code to assure that there isn't anything there that could be causing this problem.

If anyone has ever seen or experienced this in the past I would surely appreciate knowing the way that you resolved it because quite frankly it is annoying!

Thanx in advance.

Sounds like a reference issue and one is missing. Go to Tools > References and verify that none say "Missing:" in front of them.

If that isn't the issue, what are the references which you have listed?

Kenny,
Do you have a timer event on a form that is firing. I have see this happen when the timer event fires.

HTH,
Mike

Thanx for the reply. Actually I had an extra reference that I no longer needed so your advise was helpful. However, it appears that the Timer firing like DataMan suggested was the real culprit of the problem.

Which one is prefaced with "missing"? If you relay this info, we might be able to tell you where to 'find' it. :)

Basically, if you uncheck the reference, click OK, then reopen the dialog box browse out to find it, select it, click ok again and all should be fine. But, if you can't find it, let us know and we will try to assist you in locating the file.

Thanks Beth-

It is the BP2000.MDE reference that says missing in the references box. I did a search for it on my computer and couldn't find it. Any help would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!!!!
