built in search function not working properly

[dotolee]

hi there. i've created a little button on my form that launches the default find/replace dialogue box in access. i've noticed some odd behavior (ms access version 2000). sometimes, when i search for a word, it highlights the entire sentence instead of just the word that it found. and then once the entire sentence is highlighted, the find next option wont' work anymore... probably because the context of the search has changed. it looks like thinks i want to only search within the highlighted text.
has anyone else had this problem?
thanks.

Do you have all the Office 2000 updates installed?
