Access VBA properties issue...

[jim]

My problem is that when I press . (period) for the
properties/methods drop down list in the editor, the drop
down list is displayed quickly then disappears. It only
happens in one database and only started happening
recently (MS Access 2000). I've tried to
compact/repair the database but that hasn't helped. I've
secured the database through the database wizard. Could
this be the problem? Any suggestions!?

I've re-installed access 2000 and have download the
newest service pack (3) and I still have the problem. I
can't import my objects into a new database because the
old one (one with the error message) is a secure database
(security wizard) with over 50 users. I would really
like to be able to fix the problem without having to a
new database. Does anyone out there have any ideas??!!!

Hi Jim,

Does the problem database have one or more hidden or visible form open?
Does any open form have an active timer event?

It could be that the event is firing and interrupting the key sequence into
the IDE.
If so, you could disable the event while you are editing.
