Hide and Seek

[Guest]

Is there a way to turn off the text box display until the results are ready
to be shown. For various reasons I requery the data and this causes the first
record to display for a brief second, then my programming causes it to jump
back to the record you were on when you caused the requery. This blinking is
distracting. I have made the form invisible for that short time, but the pop
is also a bit much. Is there an easy way to silence all the displays until
the requery and seek is complete? Thank you.

You can try turning Echo off, but the real issue is how to avoid the
requery.

Thanks Allen, I removed the requery which I put in months ago when my
knowledge base was lacking; you're right, I didn't need it. I am now
re-evaluating all requerys in the code and will probably remove most of them.

I tried the EchoOn false/true and it worked fine, so I now have that little
trick in the bag. Two for the price of one, what a deal.

Thanks again
