my Visual basic seems to replace characters in front of it and only occurs between brackets.

Can someone please tell me how to change it back to normal?

You can use the Ins key to switch between insert mode (where text moves to the right as you type) and overtype move (where text to the right is overwritten by the new text you type). The cursor changes to show which mode you are in. This behaviour is common in Windows programs.
