Why would AutoCorrect affect this ? It happens to be switched on at the moment.
Auto corrupt is a feature I've been turning off on every new mdb I make since I began using A2003 and read Allen Browne and others' advice on it.
It may well be a good idea for you to do what Salad suggested and create a new mdb and make sure autocorrect is turned off. Then use the get external data to bring the stuff from your current mdb into it.
I'm not sure if a decompile would be necessary after doing this, but I don't think it will hurt (notwithstanding Doug's caution). I find A2003 creates enormous mdb files and the decompile and then a compact helps me get things down to a manageable level. I've done some very involved apps in A97, for example, that never exceeded 5 megs in size. In A2003, I'm lucky to get anywhere near this size, though the big front enc app I'm working on presently is the largest I've ever done.
I also second Darryl's advice, I've run into irritating problems like he describes many times in the versions of Access I've used.
