Entire Screen flickers when MouseMove event is triggered in Access 2003

[Paul Ponzelli]

We're using the MouseMove event (below) to highlight command labels in a
form when the user moves the mouse over them. It works fine in Access 2002,
but in Access 2003 the entire screen flickers dramatically when the event is
triggered. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Paul


Private Sub Scheduling1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As
Single, Y As Single)
On Error Resume Next
Set_Casemgr_menu
Me!Scheduling1.ForeColor = 16711680
Me!Scheduling1.SpecialEffect = 1
Me!Scheduling1.BackStyle = 1
End Sub

The important aspect will be to change the properties only if they need
changing. Example below.

If that does not solve the problem, is this an unattached label that is not
sitting directly on the form (e.g. on the page of a tab control)? If so,
this is a bug with A2003. Details in:

Private Sub Scheduling1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, _
X As Single, Y As Single)
On Error Resume Next
With Me.Scheduling1
If .ForeColor <> 16711680 Then
Set_Casemgr_menu
.ForeColor = 16711680
.SpecialEffect = 1
.BackStyle = 1
End If
End With
End Sub

Hi. Could I butt in here? Im currently using Access 2002 on Xp. I have a Tab
Control as my main switchboard. All of my fields, some of which are
unconnected labels, are on forms and the forms sit on the various Tab pages.
Am I likely to have this problem if our systems get upgraded to 2003 in the
future?

Thanks, Leon

Yes. Where you have unattached labels on the page of a tab control, you will
experience that problem under Access 2003 running on Windows XP.

Turning off the themes under Windows XP is the other workaround.

Thank you. I think some preemptive work is in order here. Cheers, JohnB

Thanks, Allen.

Our labels are directly attached to the form, and there are no tabs in the
form, so I'll add the If statement to test the property value.
