Me.Requery should "blinking" on the form

[cheer]

I have set Timer.Interval=1000 on a form and for every 1 second , the form need to refresh the a column called TimerSecond for user to see the count down data. To achieve the goal, I have a method "Me.Refresh" under the Form_Timer event.

However, the screen has shown great "blinking" and it is not as seamless as what I am looking for.

Any suggestion to improve that scenario ?

refresh or requery?
Its not quite clear what your trying to do. Are you trying to display a countdown timer? to countdown your ontimer event would be something like

me.TimerSecond = me.TimerSecond - 1

Whats supposed to happen when it hits 0?
More info please.

If it is a countdown timer you are creating, have a look at my version in sample databases - it updates every second & has no flicker
