[AccessD] Application.Echo not a reliable application method?

Hi Bill,

I have found application.echo doesn't always perform as I would expect.  This maybe says more about my expectations than the application.echo functionality.  Personally I want it to perform the same as Excel's "Application.screenupdating = false", but it doesn't seem to be as well behaved as Excel with bits flickering around the screen from time to time.  A nice clean and steady form on load would be nicer.

Still looking at why this happens...

Regards
Darryl.

Nope, it happens in multiple scenarios. Grrr.

It only happens when starting the form up from design view ... I would call
this therefore, no issue.

During the resize event I turn off the echo with application.echo false.

I know it is (or should be) off because when I decided to test why it is not
working, I put this just about before ever single line in the code of that
event.

However, while I am changing the position and width of controls on my form,
it is still showing this on the UI.

None of these apply:

		The Echo method doesn't suppress the 
		display of modal dialog boxes, such as 
		error messages, or pop-up forms, such 
		as property sheets.

Have others found this to be unreliable?
