Screen Updating

[NigelShaw]

Hi,

is there a way of preventing screen updating? what i mean is, my form & subform are constantly requeried. when this happens, you can see a visual updating where the screen and textboxes flash. in Excel, you can prevent this by Application.ScreenUpdating = False but can you do the same in Access?

i would like the information to change, without the flashing of the textboxes. is this possible?

theres a windows api call

called LockWindowUpdate that will really suppress all screen activity

i got this from Access cook book, but I cant post their code, and in any event I event got it off the CD -

try looking for that.

A quick Google search yielded this on the LockWindowUpdate:
