Why is this continuous form displaying incorrectly

[cford31]

Why are there lines increasing in between each record?

This only happened on a few workstations while the rest worked fine.

If this user scrolls down and then scrolls back up it fixes it and displays correctly.

FE located on each workstation.

I have tried updating the video drivers and this did not work.

just guessing here and maybe you've checked this...check the 'Can Grow' and 'Can Shrink' properties of the form's detail section...???

Sounds like you're in a big corporate environment where videocard and video drivers are not a priority. I get all sorts of weird artifacting at work. For example, when editing in a zoom box (Shift-F2), I'll often get all sorts of purple dots around the new text. It's just crap video drivers not updating properly. The redraw doesn't refresh properly until closing and reopening the zoom box.

I'm only guessing this because you've stated the problem magically disappears if the user scrolls off the page and then scrolls back on to it. The scrolling causes a full refresh, which cleans up the video artifacting. A form Repaint or Refresh may accomplish the same thing for you, but keep in mind that most business computers (at least where I work) use very poor video cards (usually built-in video), and the drivers may be several years old at this point.

Really, it's more of an annoyance than a usability issue, but it looks ugly as hell.
