EXT in status bar

[.Len B]

Access 2003.
In status bar, on the right I have FLTR EXT NUM. I know
Filter and Numlock but I cannot find out what the EXT means?

Ext can indicate "extend-the-selection" mode.
Pressing F8 again should turn it off, or press Esc.

Aha!
I couldn't figure how it got turned on. Must have been single
stepping. Obviously I pressed F8 while the app had the focus
and not the VB editor.

And it kept interfering with my editing of the code. I even
had to type code into Notepad, cut and paste it so that I
could save changes and exit access to turn it off.

Thanks again Allen.
