Arthur: Check the archives. I had this problem in an app and fixed it but can't remember how at the moment. I'm on vacation this week and I'm not supposed to work but if I get a chance later I'll look at that app and see if I can remember what the tweak was. IIRC it was somerthing pretty simple.

I have just hidden all but two of the heavily populated tab pages, and I still have the flicker. This is so strange it is beginning to interest me, rather than being just an annoying problem. I'm going to rebuild this form from scratch, page by page, and see where the flicker begins to happen. Many unbillable hours, but at least I will know!

What I do know is that there are LOTS of controls on this form, all stemming from a single table (it's more than 100, but I'm not sure of the exact count). Nuts table structure, I readily admit, but that's not the point. I think I'm going to try making the tabs invisible one by one and see at what point the problem goes away. Also, I have added a bunch of other forms to this app, some relatively complex (i.e. a listbox that serves as a finder, to the left of a bunch of columns copied from an autoform, and after that an embedded form/subform) and these forms do not suffer from this flicker issue. I'm guessing at this point that hiding one or more tabs on the form is going to make the flicker go away. If correct, I will then reveal one more form and start hiding individual controls to see at which number the flicker appears. I will report results as soon as I have some. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: July 2, 2005 1:58 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Puzzling Form hebaviour Access 2003 Hi Arthur Could it be the same issue that Erwin and Marty dealt with 2004-11-30: Form flickers like hell in A2K3 /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
