multiuser database freezing
|
|
| Rohan via AccessMonster.com 2006-03-07, 8:25 pm |
| I have a database with both the front end and the back end on the network.
(yes I know this is a bad
idea). The current problem is that sometimes when the user is working, the
hourglass appears out
of nowhere, and then, the current field she is in (a memo text field) is
highlighted - so that if she is
not looking out for it, it may get totally overwritten with her next
keystroke.
Has anyone come across this before - is there a fix ?
Rohan.

It sounds like a flaky network connection. That could mean trouble by
itself.
To avoid the thing with the selected text - how about sending the cursor to
the end of the memofield when the field get the focus?
That way no text will be selected and subsequently won't be deleted a key is
pressed?
Check the help file for SelLength to place the cursor at then end.

Darn it - I was hoping it was some sort of autosave problem.

Cheers - but unfortunately it happens when she is typing at the end of the
text - it just stops then selects the whole text by itself.

Well I really don't know what it is I must say.

Sounds strange. I won't be much help here I'm afraid.

| Using the SelLength method may still fix your problem. You will need to
experiment to find out which event is getting fired that selects the text. I
might suggest it is the enter event or the got focus event. By default the
text will be selected when a textbox gets focus but if you reset the cursor
position on the gotfocus event you can change this. I suspect that something
in your network, desktop, or application removes focus from the current
object but gives it back (or your text box gets focus just from the user
typing in it) so the SelLength method should still apply.

Ok - thank you. Will try.
