Hi,

When i use this command:

DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70

The code is used on several things;
- a combobox - afterupdate()
- a button
- a group checkbox


The form blinks with every update. Is there a way to prevent the form from
blinking ?

I hope to hear from you !
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Pierre

Those menu commands are from Access 95 and while still supported, are no
longer used. The current useage is:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmd??

Since I don't know what you are trying to accomplish, look at the RunCommand
Constants site:

Hi,

Thanks you for replying to me !

I replaced all my code with your suggestion but the screen still blinks when
it is updated. I have seen apps in the past where, when a screen is updated,
only the value in the fields is updated without the form blinking. (so it
looks smoother)

Do you know how to accomplish that ?
thanks,
Pierre

Often video resources are low when that happens. Turn on your task manager
and have a look at the performance tab while you are doing this task. If
there's no spiking, turn on your performance monitor:

Start >>> Run >>> perfmon.exe

and monitor the activity for a while to see if that could be the cause.
