Rocky, If you put a debug.print message in the oncurrent event of the form you will see that it calls itself many time. This will increase depending on sub forms and in-form sub queries (combo boxes etc). The easiest way (I think) to overcome this, is to open the form as hidden then when the code returns to the calling program, make it visible. It might work??

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?
