odd cursor in editing memo field (1 Viewer)

FuzMic · Nov 21, 2018

Hi there

I have a form with a text field bounded to a memo field. When i try to edit the contents in this field, the deletion of characters or editing get messed up. I have to extra careful to use backspace or delete and have to recheck after exit to see whether the changes are what i wanted.

Puzzling?

Do you have a time event on the form?

FuzMic · Nov 21, 2018

There is no timer event on the form

isladogs · Nov 21, 2018

Or another always on form hidden from view?

Colin your logical pointer is worthed checking all forms THANK YOU

??? So it was a timer issue as suspected ????

Now i remember i have a hidden form that has a very short timer, 1 sec. I use is timer to check if the number of forms has dropped to a critical number, if so the app will close.

I would still like to keep this perhaps
1 increase the timer to 5 sec or
2 turn if off when i do the text editing or ...

is there another way to meet my odd objective, hello!

That really is a very odd objective.
Having an always on timer interval = 1000 will cause a performance hit as well as other side effects like you have. I would also expect that typing in the VBE would be almost impossible.

I have no idea what this means

check if the number of forms has dropped to a critical number

Why should the number of forms drop? Is someone systematically deleting them?

Increasing the timer interval will reduce the impact but I think at least 60000 (1 minute) needed.
Alternatively disable the timer before editing using one of these

Code:

Me.TimerInterval=0

or for another form

Code:

Forms!YourFormName.Form.TimerInterval=0

If the latter then the Form_Timer event needs to be a Public Sub

Then restore the timer interval to the previous value after editing

Bro totally agree with your clear logic from the odd guy on the block. Appreciate!!
