Hi -
When I am in the design view of a table, I want to insert a character, but
it gives me overwrite mode.
For example. Let's say I wrote the word Desgn. I want to insert the I.
When I put the cursor between the s and the g, the computer highlights gn.
This means I have to type IGN instead of just I. Inserting in a long phrase
means I have to retype the whole phrase practically.
It seems like this behaviour just started. I don't know how it started, and
I don't know how to stop it. My Insert key is set to Insert, not Overwrite
(the OVR doesn't show on the bottom right of the screen.) I don't think the
problem is with the Insert key.
Or another way to describe it : if I put the cursor and the end of a word,
and hit the left arrow it selects the letters going from right to left. I
would like it just to move the cursor to the left, without selecting any
letters. As a matter of fact, the cursor behaves properly as I write this
letter in Outlook. Why won't it behave in Access???
Thanks for your advice.
