All,

[Using Win10 and Office 365 Business (Excel 2016?). I don't have any other versions of Office/Excel installed.]

When I'm editing a form's property, like Caption, when I use the backspace key (to delete values), there is a very noticeable lag/delay for each key stroke. If I use the Delete key instead (moving right to left), there's no lag. Happens with any property. Also happens if opening *new* file and adding new form.

I don't see this problem when backspacing in other office apps like in a Word doc or in Excel sheet, nor when backspacing in Immediate or code windows. I think I had this same problem years ago (another PC, another version of Excel, etc) and fixed it by making some edit to the Excel registry. But I can't find anything in forum or via Google search.

I've run the same file with the same keyboard on another PC and no such lag. (That other PC is Excel 2010 & Win10)

I know this isn't a stop-work issue, but I guess I'm more of a "backspace" user than delete key user and was curious if this could be solved.

Any ideas???

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
