Flickering VB

[Liz]

I have a very strange and frustrating problem. When I am
writing code in VB for my Access 2002 (2000) db, after a
few minutes the title (ex: [Form_subfrm Contacts(Code)] )
at the top of the screen starts flickering, my cursor
moves back after I push the spacebar, the edit menu (edit
properties, quick info, paremeter info, etc.) will only
quickly appear on the screen when selected and then
frustratingly disappears! Does anyone know what is going
on?????

PLEASE HELP!

Thank you.

Liz

I have seen this happen if you have a timer event running on a form while
you are trying to do the VBA editing.

I do have a timer event on a separate form, but not on
this one

If the other form is open and the timer is running, it will cause the
problem. It doesn't matter if it is the same form as the one you're editing.

The other form is not open, but would the module be
open? I am new to all of this...Thanks so much for your
help!!!!

If the other form isn't Open, then the timer won't be running. However, just
because the other form isn't visible doesn't mean it's not open. Is it open
as Visible = False?
