I have a stand alone application written in MS ACCESS.
In Appointment form I have now the problem - cursor spontaneoucly jumps to
the very left upper corner of form. What would be the reason for it and if
there is a way to fix it?

Sincerely,
Valentina.

Are you sure this happens only in Access?

From the symtom you gave it sounds like you have a optical mouse thats
causing the sudden jump. I recommend using a mouse pad and if that does not
work switchng out with a diffrent mouse (to verify that the problem is with
the mouse) and then, of course, purchase a new one if it's the mouse.

Good luck

Yes, I am sure.
Pretty old version of this application doesn't have this problem.
And... I have very old (even no weel, not speaking about optical) mouse.

The frustration that in the same version of MS ACCESS on the same computer
new and old versions of application behave differently (in terms of this
problem).

If there's nothing wrong with the mouse, I would suspect
that there's a form with a Timer event running?
