Trouble typing code

[rp]

When typing code using Access 2000, the cursor will jump
back after typing the space bar or the "." (period) and
the what was typed turns red. The context sensitive menu
that usually appears disappears on the next cursor blink.
Example - if I type DoCmd. - the menu opens after period
then disappears and the line turns red. Or - if I type
If "space bar" - the cursor jumps back after the space and
the If turns red. This does not always happen but I cannot
figure why it would in the first place. This has happened
in other databases too. Thanks in advance for any
suggestions/solutions.

Dear rp:

I lived with this problem for a loooong time, until I posted about it. Turns
out I had a form with a timer event. When doing coding I needed to close the
form with the timer event. Could this be your problem?

Fred:

You were right - the OnTimer event of a form I was using
caused the problem. Thank you.
