Form freezing on load

[cat001969]

I have a form in a database that when it loads a portion of the form does not load. If I minimize the form then maximize it the remainder of the form loads. Has anyone seen this problem before?

Right now I have added code on the load event of the form that is minimizing the form then maximizing it to get around the issue but I would prefer not to have to do that.

have you tried a me.refresh?

Oops

Ok ... well that worked for the first try, now it is not working. Any other ideas?

Here is the whole process.

The main form loads, click a button, a different form opens and the main form closes, click another button and a 3rd form loads (this is the one that won't load fully), and the 2nd form closes.

what is the form based on? a query or a table?

 

[cat001969]

The form that is not loading is based on a query.

do a me.requery in the onload event of the form

The me.requery does not help.

The area of the form that is not loading is the form footer where there are customized buttons that are needed for the form. The fields and the data are loading but without those buttons the form is useless for the most part.

thats interesting... is the form a fixed size?

The form is open as maximized. Nothing special about the form in general. I would normally think that it would be a system resource or memory issue, but it is happening on every computer we try the database on. The only solution so far has been to minimize then restore the form. I also know it is a little thing, but it is bugging us programmers here to death.
