Form Flickers and footer fails to load

T

todd

When opening a certain form in my 2003 database the screen
starts flickering and the form is slow and records fail to
load. Removing any function calls from the text boxes has
resulted in better performance.

However the screen still flickers and the form below the
footer line is completely gone. The footer (containing 12
differant command buttons)does not appear.
btw- works like a champ in Access 2000

Are any of your control using Conditional Formatting?
If so, it may be the cause. See:

In A2003, the flicker can also be triggered by unattached labels whose
parent is not the form (e.g. if they are on the page of a tab control). Your
symptoms sound more like the endless loop triggered by conditional
formatting, but if the flicker is related to the labels, this link contains
the code to convert those labels into text boxes:
