Mouse select problem

[Steve]

I keep running into this problem from time to time. My mouse will act as if
the shift key is pressed and selects everything between the current cursor
position and the click. This manifests in VBA, in fields on the Property
window and in query designer.

If I restart Access the problem goes away.

Sticky keys are off.
Access 2003, XP Pro

If I remember correctly this also happened in previous versions of Access

This happens when you keep the shift key pressed for too long at a time.
There is a solution to undo it that I forgot. You could search for it.

My solution -- get out of the habit of holding down the shift key.
