Unnusual issue I have here. Have a databases containing user system access records- currently around 6k records, been working fine for a year. Has a search form where you can search on many criteria including users ID. Issue is if I search on user ID BCAK, on running the code Access changes this to BACK and finds the related record for BACK. It will not allow me to change the record to show the ID as BCAK- it just changes it back to BACK.

Was just about to start trawling my code for a bug when I was told Access does the same thing to this ID in a completley different database, written by someone else, with no shared code etc. Any ideas please?

Didn't someone say work is supposed to be fun? They didn't have computers then I guess....
