Weird Screen Painting

[Thales750]

This is strange, in Access 2007 I’m getting part of my screen repainting and others not. I don’t know why any of it is painting, but about half of the controls are.
This happens on the click event of some command buttons and after update on combo boxes.
Any ideas?

It turns out it was a subform being requeried. Go fiqure.

Is there a fix for this?

This is driving me crazy.

Is it possible to halt blinking of some of the controls when requrying?

I've noticed this problem a lot.

For the 'Echo' solution:

Does that mean Echo False... Echo True would need to be put at the start and end of every sub and every on current event? (It does seem to refresh controls for inconsistent reasons: scrolling down a continuous form with arrow keys (KeyDown event producing MoveNext method) it refreshes controls on other forms and the desktop every 2nd to 6th record!?!?) It is very strange and very annoying

When Echo comes back on it still blinks.

In 15 years of Access I have never seen this befor.

I've noticed this too when changing over from A2K to 2010. Forms blink to the point of distraction. I've also noticed that there's less 'blinking' depending on the amount of free resources on the computer. The problem's still there when I shut other programmes down but to a far lesser degree.

After Googling for days I was hoping MS would fix this in SP1, as judging by the number of posts I'm sure they're aware of it, my naive mistake.

Does the form have an image, attached to the FORM and set in the Form Properties?

Linking (never embedding) an image with CLIP / ZOOM / STRETCH property and everytime you cough Access seems to what to recalculate where to put the image and repaints the screen and hence FLICKER! FLICKER! FLICKER!
