Cursor moves back

[tis9700]

Hi all,
I'm using MS Access 2002.

I have a main form and subform. The main form has an unbound combobox used to select a class number and some unbound textboxes to display the Instructor of the class.
After selecting the appropriate Class, the user tabs into the subform and the cursor moves to the students last name textbox. Everytime the user starts to type a character or two, the cursor unexpectedly jumps back to the beginning position. If the user doesn't notice, they will type the name incorrectly. This appears to only be happening with this field. I've never encountered this behavior. Any ideas?
Thanks

What events do you have in this textbox?? Also, do you have a timer on either the mainform or the subform?? Either of these may explain your troubles...

Hi mstrmage1768,
I have no code or macros assigned to any of the events in the textbox. No timers anywhere. There is an Input Mask but I've already removed it and retested, the same behavior occurred.

Could it be the way I have the main form and subform interacting? When the user selects a class from the combo box, the value is stored in the underlying subform table, STUDENTS_TEMP. And then that value appears in a bound textbox in the subform.

Thanks

I can't think your setup would be doing what you describe. What you describe typically happens during a Refresh of the form, a control focus change, or during a timer event. Each of these scenarios "reset" the cursor location to the beginning of the control it is currently in.

This may sound crazy but I think there was some code in the background that set the focus previously to that textbox but it was deleted and recomplied along time ago. This would not be the first time previously existing code affected the program. It's like Ghost Code or something!
