[AccessD] Form flickers like hell in A2K3

I don't believe this :-)
And this is known since february and no fix yet????

Pff A2K3 is disapointing me.
I did'nt programmed a lot in the last 6 months or so, and I recently
started again in A2K3.
I crash about three to four times a day my Access 2K3 while developing,
sometimes just when clicking on a combobox to open it.

I'm back to A2K2 now...

You ain't gonna believe this but if running WinXP change your theme  by
right-clicking your Windows XP desktop, choosing Properties, and setting
the Theme to "Windows Classic".
If  you cannot solve it by deselecting Use Windows Themed Controls on
Forms under Tools | Options | Forms/Reports in Access 2003 The
flickering or flutter goes away on my machine using Win XP Theme Classic
Access 2003 and  by deselecting above option The flickering is triggered
by unattached labels on the page of a tab control. The workaround is to
convert these labels to text boxes.
For non english speakers I found this by searching on Screen Flutter
rather than Flicker.

For full explanation. and code to correct all forms if above tools
option method doesn't work
