[AccessD] Flash and Flicker

I would add that using W10, with office 2016 desktop installed -  Access has been suspiciously well behaved and stable.  Most annoyingly - Excel on the other hand is more flickery and less stable than Excel 2010.  Go figure.

Regards
Darryl.

Win 10.  Just moved to it.  Don't know if it's W10 causing the problem because I upped to A2010 after the W10 upgrade.  I'm not seeing the flash in any other Office module, though.

What OS,
I'm not making much use of access nowadays - mostly Excel & Word  I am seeing occasional 'flickers' or flash of something under Win-10, in various apps and they were not there under win-7 An older Lenovo system 2GB - 2TB Seagate drive, 2 core 2.4Ghz CPU, 64 bit-Win-10 Pro.

Maybe in settings/controlpanel tweak your running - mode changing performance to the screen apps rather than background, and lose some animation?

Also - I can see the attraction of 2010, but would have thought going 2016 was the more logical step -avoid the extra annoyance of dealing with the
2010->2016 changes as a separate rain-burn-in.

Machine's got lots of memory - 8GB with only 27% being used.  Maybe there's an updated driver for my video card?  But this problem is only (AFAICT so
far) in access design view.

New one on me, Rocky.

Sounds like a display driver issue perhaps? Or memory.

Dear Lists:

 

I am developing in Access 2010 now - just oved from 2003 (about time, no?).

 

In design view, however, I am getting flashing or flicker in several places the most obvious is moving from one property to another on the property sheet.  But using the Navigation Pane I get it as well when scrolling and when I stop scrolling the focus shifts and I have to scroll some more to get to the object I need to open. 

 

I can't find any reference to this problem on the internets - plenty on flickering in form view, but I can find nothing about this problem in design view.

 

Has anyone seen this problem?

 

TIA
