Tooltips disappearing!

I have a rather annoying problem with Access 2003. When I'm typing code
(VBA), the tooltip showing the syntax appears, but then disappears quickly so
I don't get a chance to read it. Also, the options box that appears when, for
instance, a comma is typed whilst entering a command, appears and disappears
just as quickly! It didn't do it when I first installed it...

Can I stop this from happening?
 
Hi, Rich.

Do you have any forms open that have the Timer event and the TimerInterval
Property set? If so, close these forms while you're editing code so that the
VB Editor doesn't lose focus while you're working with it.

HTH.

Hi,

Yes, there was a form running a realtime clock in the background. I've
closed it and all seems ok at the moment. Thanks alot for that fix.
