OI 3.5 application running on Windows 98 Version 4.10.2222. Runtime single user, not networked. We have a data entry window - multi page with tabs. When a user goes to any of the editboxes or editlines on any page of the form and types in data, all goes well until the space bar is pressed. After the space bar is pressed, the cursor, mysteriously jumps to the first editline in the tab order of the first page of the form. All remaining characters that are typed get placed in that first editline instead of where intended. We have fondly named this the Mysterious Flying Cursor. The behavior does not occur on other similar forms in the app. It gets even stranger. If the first editline on the first page contains an & character followed by other text, this behavior doesn't occur. And to make it ultimately strange, I can't duplicate this behavior other machines that running the same version of Windows! Any suggesations will be treasured.

If it doesn't happen on those, them something is causing that Windows desktop to misbehave. Something else is probably running in the background..look in the GOK pile.

You could try a different keyboard on this computer just to rule out the possibility of a faulty space bar sending some weird signal back.

It all looks pretty much the same and it's pretty hard. As to your problem, I haven't got a clue. Something is obviously capturing mouse moves, keystrokes, etc. Is it possible that you have a Qualify_Event wrong? Do you have some code on the CHANGED property of a control? WTFK?

"GOK Pile": Cooincidentally, this happens to be an archaeology app. CHANGE event or Qualify_Event don't appear to be issues. I am totally baffled by this one.
