suspend screenupdate

[Jay]

I have a form that updates based on a timer.

The update causes the form to "flicker".

I would like to freeze the screen while the update takes
place and then refresh it once all data is updated.

How can that be done?

The command to stop screen updates is

DoCmd.Echo False

Use True to turn it back on again. Do forget to put "DoCmd.Echo True" in
your error handler as well, if there is a problem, you'll need to reenable
the screen before the user can do anything.

Depending on what is causing the flicker, this may not stop it, but it is
worth trying.
