Undesired Flickering of Controls When using mouse move event

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a dialog form with popup property set to "yes" as my startup form.
the form has number of controls. I customize their backgrouds and fonts with
mouse move even. The form works fine when MS Access window is open but when i
run it from a shortcut from desktop with shortcut property set to minimize
the displayed form shows alot of flickering of controls backgroungs even if
the mouse moves on detail section. the detail section has coding for original
backgrounds of controls on mouse move property. Can i remove this fault or i
have to run the form with MS Access window open.

If you set the properties of the controls every time the mouse move event
fires, they will be constantly flickering. Instead, test if the property is
already set correctly, and change only when necessary, e.g.:

If Me.[SomeControl].BackColor <> vbRed Then
Me.[SomeControl].BackColor = vbRed
End If

Access does not do that for you, but Stephen Lebans has a solution for
