Tab Stops Don't Work & Fields Flicker

[Altemir]

I have a subform embedded in a main form. The underlying data comes
from a single table. There is only one field (let's call it "MyField")
in the subform that has TabStop = Yes. Every other field in both the
subform and main form has TabStop = No.

Here's the problem: When I enter a value in MyField and hit the tab
key, the cursor moves to MyField on the next record just like I want it
to. But about 200 milliseconds later disappears. However, it will
return to MyField if I press Tab a second time.

It's taking two tabs to move to the next field!?!?!

I also notice that fields in the header of my subform flicker on the
first Tabs hit like there's a refresh going on or something.

I have searched long and hard for any events attached to MyField, the
subform, and main form, but haven't found anything yet.
Any suggestions?

Allen Browne has posted a tip to his web site that might fit or solve your
situation.

However, I am experiencing a flickering problem also on a form with a tab
control when I have the Source Object unbound (and later set it in code
through a tab change event) and I set the Link Master Field on the subform
to a text box on the main form containing the related key field ID. My
problem is not and cannot be be related to unattached labels or Windows XP
theme issue Allen identifies since I am NOY running my app on a Windows XP
PC and I have converted the unattached labels to textboxes as Allen suggests
in his article.

If you find a solution, I'm interested in knowing how you solved it.
