Double mouse click mystery

[Jerry Crosby]

Strangely, one of my forms has acquired an odd "feature." On many things
that used to require a single click, or a single hit on the Enter key, now
require two clicks, or two hits.

For example, to cycle through records using the left and right arrows at the
bottom of the form, I have to click twice to get it to advance one record.
If I open the "Find" window (it will open with one click) and type something
in the "find what" box, I have to click on "Find Next" twice to get it to
move..and then twice again to get it to find the next one, etc.

It only seems to be happening with one form. Of course, it's the form I've
done most of my recent work on, so I have no idea what might have triggered
it.

Does anyone else have an idea?

Thanks in advance.

DO you have any OnKey/OnMouse events in the code? Open up your form's
module and do a search for Mouse and Key. Check your activate, unload,
close, form's beforeupdate events for something that cancels. IOW,
search for Cancel = True. Or do you have a Timer doing anything?

Unfortunately, I didn't find any such thing on that form. Any other ideas?

Well, you can try this but it may not do anything for you but add some work.

Rename your current form to another name. Ex Form1 is now Form1Save.

Open up Form1Save in design mode.

Now create a new form.

Highlight all controls in Form1Save and copy/paste them into the new
form. Select the code module in Form1Save and do the same. Now save
this new form as Form1. See if that helps.

If not, remove all of the code in Form1 (you have the code in Form1Save)
and run. See if the problems with the nav buttons is gone. If so, you
have some code/macro that is doing something I would think.

I'll give that a try tonight, but how do I select the whole code module from
the existing form? If I look at the database window, there is nothing
showing under "modules". If you mean all the VB code with the form, I guess
I need to know how to select it all.

Well....open up the code window for the form (not a module under modules
tab)...and from the menu select Edit/SelectAll. Then Edit/Copy. Then
click off. Go to the NewForms module and click Edit/Paste.

I would have provided the shortcut keys for these commands but Windows
may be something new to you.
