Invisible Objects Flicker(Double Buffering???)

[Guest]

Hi all,
I have many invisible text boxes and labels in a form using an Access in
Win2K environment even though they are invisible they flicker when I use the
scroll bar to brows to the top and the bottom of the form. Does any one know
how to fix this problem? The flickering looks like as if no double buffering
is being used. How do I enable double buffering?

Thanks
Mike

Any conditional formatting? Does the Status Bar read, "Calculating..." for
ages while this flickering occurs? If so, temporarily remove the conditional
formatting, and see if it stops.

This is particularly an issue with conditional formatting on calculated
controls, as the CF seems to trigger a recalcuation, and the recalcuation
re-triggers the CF, and ... Access 2003 with SP2 or later has less of a
problem with this than earlier versions did.

If that is not the issue, what other events could be causing this kind of
circular triggering? For example, if you have something in the Current event
of a subform that affects the control named in its LinkMasterFields (or
possibly others on the main form), the code will trigger this.

Thanks for your response Allen. Your response put me in the right direction.
My form had a header which was causing the object in the form to flicker. I
guess it causes problem with repaint the screen as the user scrolls up /down
the form.
