URGENT Please - Problem with auto complete commands & Help files

[Chris]

PLEASE - someone help quickly!!

When writing code, for example, in a form, whenever you
type a fullstop/period, Access automatically brings up
commands and fieldnames for automatically completing the
code. (For example, Me.lbISlProcess.Caption = "Process")

However, for some reason it has taken to displaying the
list of available commands/fields very quickly (too
quickly to view) or it just doesn't do anything at all.
What's going on?

I asked for help on the next problem a few weeks ago and
didn't get a response. Whenever I run Help I get the
following error:
"A Run-Time error has occured. Do you wish to debug? Line
114. Error: Operation is not allowed when the object is
closed".

Have tried reinstalling Access, repairing, etc. to no
avail. Running Windows XP, Access 2003.

Thanks,
Chris

Don't know abut your second problem with help.

I _suspect_ that you first problem may have to do with you having an open form
with a timer event running on it. If you do, it is probably grabbing the
"focus" for just a tick, but when it does you no longer have the focus on your
code and so ...
