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!

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.

Is it different?

Didn't seem to help as much as turning off the echo.

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?
