This is strange indeed. Could be an Access issue though. Which version of MS Access are you using? Also I'm guessing something as bizarre as this could happen if your parent-child relationships between your forms changed and somehow the field you are pasting into or cutting text out of is one of the parent-child fields.

What are your parent-child fields set to on your master/sub forms? How this could happen without you actually changing the form is if your postgresql table changed - e.g. you added a field in between another set of fields. Since linked tables do not refresh without explicitly refreshing them, your linked primary key field could very well be now pointing at one of the parent child fields. I would try relinking your postgresql tables to rule that out as an issue.

Hope that helps,
Regina

Hello,

It's hard to understand your problem. When did your problem appear? Show

us your ODBC + PostgreSQL relative code.
