Flickering Pages
Published (2009-11-13 20:19:00)
Note also the 'flickering' might be due to the recordset requerying. I've never had to use any code to turn off any type of flickering (and wouldn't recommend it). Sometimes a Refresh command versus a me.requery versus a me.repaint makes a difference in the code. I did have problems once with flickering over a citrix connection for the users. I used unbound forms to resolve this along with changing citrix screen refresh...

Good stuff. Now our problem. We can get this information, but putting it in to the form is the tricky bit. Is your form read only or do users edit the data?

so have a sub/child table which uses the memberID and a date as the PK by the looks of it a memberid + year + month could be a good candidate key.

You can use the echo method to turn off the screen refresh, and then turn it back on after your code is done. Fair warning: I strongly suggest having error handling such that if an error is triggered, your error handler will turn the echo back on. Otherwise you risk leaving echo off for the user's machine, which is exceedingly annoying.

I have an Access 2000 Database . I have created a Search Page (made up of continuous forms) where the user clicks on the active record and then goes off to another form to find the same record number (as that which was selected on the Search Page) and display it. I then return the focus back onto the Search Page. Effectively form A is open, I click on a button to open the Search Page (...

Ok, but then when you open the form in the first place, where would it get its information from? At the moment, I use the filter like this: Code: Docmd.OpenForm "RM", ,, "[ID] = " & Me.ID and as it's bound, it finds all the information and displays it.
