There could be several things causing this.
Suggestions to trace it, in this order, until you get it:
1. Uncheck the boxes under:
Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect

2. If this is Access 2002 or 2003, and there are any subforms, make sure the
fields named in the LinkChildFields property are represented by text boxes
in the subform.
3. Temporarily remove any conditional formatting in the form, or its
subforms.
4. Set the SubdatasheetName property to No for all tables used in this form
or its subforms.
5. Temporarily comment out any code in the form's Current event.
6. Drop any calculated controls off the form (or out of its source query.)

I have a form with a subform. when I navigate through the records using
a combo box to jump to a particular record on the main form,
"calculating..." appears in the status bar and there is at least one
control with a flashing value (that looks like the form is looping
through records) sometimes, if I roll the mouse over the flashing
control, the status bar quickly switches to 'Form View', but sometimes,
it continues for a bit. Any code that is lauchned from the form during
this 'calculating' period will cause other procedures to bomb, but if
you wait for 'Form View' to appear it will all work as planned? Any
ideas?
