Field List window displayed in Form View

[nbdwt73]

I have a form with a subform that has started a strange behavior... Periodically (no apparent pattern) whenever I leave the form (go to next record, print report, send an email...) the field list (Add Existing Field) box pops up. I always thought that those boxes (property sheet included) displayed or were hidden based on the state the last time it was used in Design View. I have confirmed that all forms and subforms do not have the boxes in display state in Design View.

I can go into Design View, close the box and all is well for awhile. It seems to happen more frequently when I go to print a report based on the data on the current form. My question is - what causes the Field List or Property Sheet to toggle on/off and can I suppress it either on a form or in the VBA code?

I should also say that the system works flawlessly - this is more of an annoyance. I am sure it has been cause by some fat finger of mine - this started about 2 weeks ago in a system that has run for over a year.

Thanks for any help...

Never experienced that. Have you run Compact & Repair?

Yes, that was one of the first things that I did... I have narrowed it down more... It is only the Field List box that is a problem. The properties box will "honor" the state. Once the field box appears, I have to go to design view, close it, then back to form view to remove it. It will stay that way for a few minutes of use.

It is only the one form/subform this occurs with? Not other forms, not in other db files? Only thing comes to mind is form corruption. Can try to rebuild.
