Hi Colboy62!

I understand that your iPad is going to the Home screen when you try to type, and I'm happy to help. If you haven't already, please try restarting your iPad:

If you're still having this issue, back up your iPad before proceeding:

If the issue is still present, try restoring the iPad to factory settings and setting it up as a new iPad:
