[AccessD] Screen Flutter

I added Hidden on the OpenForm and that knocked it down to one flutter.
That's pretty good.  Think I'll take the rest of the day off!

Thanks C & M

Yes, it's different.  In the call to open the form, you can open it hidden.
If you set the visiblity inside the form, it's already opening when it tries
to hide itself.

Max:

If hidden is the same as visible=false then yes.  Is it different?

Yes, but have you opened the form as HIDDEN and then made it VISIBLE?

Tried various placements of me.visible=false/true.  Didn't seem to help as
much as turning off the echo.

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??

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?
