The flutter is likely caused by the current event firing repeatedly, which always happens. Echo off and on will help, but be carefult to error handle it so that you don't wind up with the echo off after the form loads. You could also try Me.Painting = False and Me.Painting = True, since you don't have any subforms. Moving your Me.Visible = True to the Load event would work better that putting it into the Open event. Leave Me.Visible = false in the Open event.

I also tried putting the me.visible=false in the load event with no effect. The fluttering apparently is happening after the form is made visible at the end of the open event. Plausible?

When it opens it 'flutters' I guess what we always call here the 'flashing screen' phenomenon. It flashes or flutters 3-5 times during opening. There are a bunch of requeries and a couple of repaints in the code but that's not causing it because I comment them out one at a time and saw no change. Tried Me.Visible=false on entering the open event and Me.Visible=True before leaving the open event. No difference. So what's the most likely cause of the fluttering or flashing on open?
