I'm working on a database and have a form that is for data entry only
- the user cannot view any records except for the ones they have
entered during the current session. Most of the fields are text boxes
or combo boxes with a drop-down list to choose a value.

There is a weird, random, and extremely frustrating issue that is
driving me up a tree. Sometimes - not always, when you enter a value
into a bound text box, and then typically select the entire contents,
right-click, and select copy (or use ctrl+c) nothing is placed on the
windows clipboard and there is no indication of that until you try to
paste the value somewhere else, which either results in either nothing
changing or whatever was on the clipboard before copying being pasted
instead.

It is highly annoying because I can't figure out what is causing it. I
can select the text in the box, right-click and choose "cut" and it
may cut immediately or it may cut on the 2nd time I hit it or on the
5th time I hit it.

The problem is not unique to just one computer/user, occurs with any
or none of the text boxes, and the cut-n-paste works without fail in
every other application.

As far as the form goes data entry is set to yes - allow edits is yes
- allow additions is yes - allow deletions is no - allow any view
other than form view are all no. It happens before and after the
database has been split, after splitting sees the problem using the
main front end as well as the .mde front end(s)

I'm thinking it's either an access thing or a windows thing, or
there's something I don't have set right in the properties of the
form, the text boxes, or the field - so any ideas/suggestions, I'm all
ears...

Thanks in advance,
~Ben.
