Bizarre behavior in VBE - Space erases itself

[ragtopcaddy via AccessMonster.com]

Here's something I've never seen, heard of, or imagined before!

I recently created a "find" combo box with the toolbox wizard. I then created
a sub in the AfterUpdate event of the control.

I typed in "With" in order to construct a With DoCmd... End With structure to
find a match for the combo box. But when I typed in a space after with, it
backspaced on itself and "with" turned red. To test further, I tried
everything I could think of (Dim, If, etc.) with the same result. If I type
with no spaces, I can add them afterwards and I can also type in just spaces.
But any VB functions or keywords backspace the spaces and turn red.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bill

This sort of thing can happen if you have an open form (even a hidden one)
with its Timer running.

That is exactly the situation!

Thanks for the explanation
