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.

More on this...

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!

I don't know about that, but will try to follow up that lead. 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.

Hi Arthur

Could it be the same issue that Erwin and Marty dealt with 2004-11-30:

  Form flickers like hell in A2K3
