So, I've a couple procedures where it would be better to not have the screen
update.

I've tried both docmd.echo (false) and application.echo false. In both
cases, there are still screen updates, specifically, the all open windows go
white for a few seconds.

Is there anything that needs to be used in conjunction with echo false?

try this, works for me.

docmd.echo false

don't use parans.

Well, DoCmd.Echo False didn't help either...

Any other thoughts?

I imagine the command only affects the form where it is coded - not other
open forms. Make the other forms invisible, then visible again.

That may be a Windows and/or video card problem when the program, not
just Access, is not responding for a few seconds. This seems to be
happening when something sends a command to the open program windows
to refresh. And the busy program doesn't do the refresh. I've been
seeing a fair bit of this lately on my PC.

That seems the most likely explanation... Thank you.
