i had to add that it happened when i openned my form in design mode. In
general, what could cause the problem i dessribed in design mode?. it
locks
the control of the mosue and then releases it after a bit of time which
can
take a few seconds.

What version of Access? I have found that Access 2007 takes longer to open
forms in design view than earlier versions.

Do you have the Perform Name Autocorrect option enabled or disabled? Name
Autocorrect takes extra time.
