Can corruption cause this?

Hi all,
I have a fairly large Access2000 application (FE/BE). One of the
subforms (in datasheet) has a dropdown list named BackSplash. It's a
ValueList, not LimitToList, bound to the BackSplash field in the
underlying query.
The subform also (among various other fields) has a textbox named
LineItemPrice. This is the last field in the datasheet.
I enter a new value in the LineItemPrice field, and hit Tab to go the
next row.
In the Form_AfterUpdat e of that subform I write among other things:
If Me.BackSplash.V alue = "Full" Then
This line causes a problem, in that when I hit tab, focus stays in the
LineItemPrice field. The field's value is being selected. A second
tab, and focus will move to the next row.
However, if I change the IF statement to:
If Me.RecordsetClo ne.Fields("Back Splash").Value = "Full" Then
then the cursor moves to the first field in the next line, like
normal.

Behavior is the same in Access 2003 (on same machine).
I did export all objects to text files and imported them in a new
database - same behavior.

The reason I'm a stickler about this otherwise minor inconvenience is
that I have an error in a function called after this code, that's
entirely unreasonable. See my post "Recordset problem due to
corruption?"

Thanks for any insights.

-Tom.

Yes - the problem you describe can be caused by corruption, and it is one of
the more common symproms of corruption. Using those expressions (dot
references to controls) also seems to increase the frequency of corruption
occurring, especially if name autocorrect is turned on (BTW - always turn that
off).

In general, I always use bang (!) references to controls on a form, not dot
(.).

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reaction. The variants:
If BackSplash = "Full"
If Me!BackSplash = "Full"
did not yield better results.

I will try to get rid of the corruption tomorrow at work, on our
"clean machine".

Since upgrading one of my clients from A97/W2000 to A2003/XP they have suffered no end of data corruption problems, mainly involving one of the main tables. The corruption can result in one record's fields turning into chinese characters. On running the compact/repair I can see that the corruption may be deeper than I expected because sometimes indexes are missing and need to be replaced. I used to think that overuse of 'ctrl-alt-delete'...
