[AccessD] Screen Flutter

Hi Rocky,

The cause is indeed the requeries.  The solution is to use 

Application.Echo False

	[Opening Code]

Application.Echo True 

A caveat:  If you are going to use this in production code, you must
introduce error trapping into every procedure that could possibly be used
during startup, and that error trapping must include the line:

Application.Echo True

I error trap every procedure, and include this line in every trap.

Another caveat:  While you are developing, if you have an error and you have
error trapping turned on, then you will get a frozen screen and will need to
End the app with Task Manager.

Hope this Helps!
Dan

Dear List:
 
Legacy app.  Continuous bound form with no sub-forms.  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?
