    Access VBA - keyboard layout changes

    Hi,

    Dunno if it is just me or not so here goes...

    I am (happily) editing code in vba, when I tab out to check the tables in Access and tab back in. Then as I type (correctly) templates I get te,plqtes.

    The keys being pressed on the keyboard appear to be corrupting/moving around before they get into the vba editor window.

    Is this a virus or a uh um 'feature' of vba editor ??

    I've never knowingly had an issue like that (but then again I may have, and just assumed that the typos were my fault!)

    I don't see how "templates" could become "te,plqtes" in terms of ASCII codes or anything, it looks more like a human-keyboard interfacing error

    In all honesty tho, I think it may well be a fault with your keyboard (a key or part of the electronics is momentarily 'stuck') - try with a different one to see if the issue remains.

    Naa has to be access - cos the other programs type fine.
    Plus close and restart of access clears it up.

    Just annoying when I look up from a section of hammered code to see the wrong characters.
