Jim --
You bet.
I understand the timer problem now that you explained it. Makes sense. Is unfortunate.
Turning it on/off -- I mean, it would be nice to have a toggle to turn the PEM Editor on when you want its functionality and off when you don't. Kind of like having the debugger running or not.
i think I will give this another try. Hard to change old ways, I guess.

trace window in the debugger. PEM editor is just a form with a timer, actually, and the performance for any form degrades if you have the trace window open. That can't be helped (and, believe me, we've spent some time trying).

>>thanks for the code. The problem seems to happen if I have the debugger active when I do incremental search for form methods/properties. If I close the debugger, things seem to get faster. And no, I don't have throttle on or anything in the watch window that might slow things down in the debugger. It is a big enough drag having to remember to close the debugger every time I use the PEM editor that I'd rather not use the PEM editor at all, even if it has some really nice features. Would be nice to be able to toggle this functionality on and off, so that when I need the additional functionality "sorely" enough I could turn it on.

>>There is another problem that took me a moment to figure out: If I have a control selected on the form, then pull down the form menu/Edit methods and properties -option, what I get is methods and properties sheet for the selected object, NOT the form. At first I though the program was simply broken, until I noticed the control that was accidentally left selected on the form.
