Auto List Members not working

[Guest]

I am having problem with the auto list members staying on the screen. This
is the feature that helps you with VB code by listing available
options/variables with a drop down list on key words. For example if in a VB
form module you type "Me." it will list a drop down list of available
variables for that form. I do have the Auto List Members toggled ON under
Tools->options->Editor.

The list will appear for about a half second and then disappear. If I
toggle the Auto List Member option Off the list won't appear at all (as
expected). This happened recently and behaves this way in all of my VB code
now. I rely heavily on this so is a big problem for me. I have done a
compact and repair but doesn't fix the problem.

I using Access 2000 running on Windows 2000 but have tried the DB on Access
2002 with the same results.

We see this behavior when there's a form open with an active Timer
event. Whenever the Timer event fires, the VB Editor window loses the
focus and the Intellisense dropdown closes. If this is your problem,
close that form or set its TimerInterval to 0 before editing code.

Dirk,

That is exactly what was happening. Thank you for the tip.
