Nov 7, 2006Hi,
I used a tab control in a form. However, when I move the mouse over the form, the form flickers.
Has anyone ever experienced the same problem?
Thank you,

Jun 10, 2005Hi
I am using the following Code on the OnCurrent Event of my form. The Problem is , in Access XP or 2000 it works Great but in Access 2003 it starts flickering, unless we bring the cursor to any field of the subform
Private Sub Form_Current()
On Error GoTo Err_Form_Current
If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 1 Then
Me.ScrollBars = 3
Else
Me.ScrollBars = 0
End If
Exit_Form_Current:

Flickering Text Boxes
Jul 6, 2006Hello... again...
I'm having a problem with what looks like a form refresh.
My form has a single drop down box, when that's updated, the whole form is visable and resized etc.
Depending on the criteria in the dropdown box, up to 20 text boxes are updated using a DLookUp.
Everytime something is done (like ticking a checkbox or pressing a button) in the form, the 20 text boxes blink, and it's really... really... REALLY annoying me and my colleagues!
I've tried converting them to labels and using code to update them, but that didn't seem to do the trick.
I could put the info in the query where the form gets its data, but the form is for data entry, which i cannot do with a linked query.
Any help or suggestions would be superb!
A Simple Login Screen / Also Access In Full Screen
Jul 27, 2006I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work.
Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.
Flickering Controls On A Form -Access 2003
Jan 6, 2008Hi All,
I am learning heaps and constantly wrestling with access, this is a good thing. However at the moment i recently added tabs to my form to restructure the appearance and content and thus far i am happy and its working fine. Except that moving the mouse cursor accross the from causes controls and textboxes to flicker / refresh. I find this annoying and given all the effort going into the presentation of the application i have done.
Is there anyway to eleviate this, is there something i have done wrong perhaps.
I wish to host various controls and inputs from other tables on the other tabs. Will this complicate things or should 1 form with its Tab controls be particular to 1 table........ or can / should a form serve as an input or display to several tables? Is this a bad database practice?
thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.
Modules & VBA :: Stop Controls From Flickering When Timerevent Fires?
Aug 12, 2014Is there a way to stop the controls from flickering when the timerevent fires?
What doesn't work:
Code:
Application.Echo False
Docmd.Echo False
TimerEvent on the current form
TimerEvent on a different form
Using Windows API:
Code:
Private Declare Function SetTimer Lib "user32" etc
Private Declare Function KillTimer Lib "user32" etc
Each of these events flicker the controls on my forms. The effect is worse when the form background contains a picture.
"Do Not Show This Screen Again" : Splash Screen
Aug 1, 2006Hello all,
I have this splash screen, which welcomes all the users. It has an OK command button that exits the screen, and a checkbox that says "Do not show this screen again". I still do not have the code behind the checkbox. Thus I was wondering if there is a way where I could entirelly close or "get rid" of the splash screen until the user loggs in again. Because right now there is no code behind it, so everybody that checks it and click OK, leaves the screen. But they can still open it, if they select the "splash form".

Splash Screen Help
Oct 14, 2005Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to use a splash screen in the middle of your program? Ex. Can I have a splash screeen to display at the beginning of my database and then have another splash screen open during my program. If i click on a command button to display a form, cause I have a splash screen appear before that form load?
Is till possible while using Data Access Pages as well?
thanks in advance

Screen Positioning
Apr 13, 2005How to I get the screen to show the top of the form?
Solid lines and xs show what is shown on the screen.
This is used for bigger resolutions. I am modifying the layout of the forms depending on the screen resolution.
Also what is the highest resolution anyone has seen an access database running at?
Auto resize and Auto Centre are both already set to no.
Using access 2000. There are no scroll bars on the form.

Screen Updating
Aug 3, 2006I have a button on a form which closes the form and opens a different one. This causes the screen to "flash" as one is closed, the main menu becomes visible very briefly and then the new form opens.
In Microsoft Excel I used to use the VBA code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
to prevent this and only allow the final state to be displayed. I've tried this with Access and it doesn't seem to work.
Is there an equivalent?

Blank Screen (No Switchboard)
Aug 8, 2005Hi, I hope someone can help! I have purchased a programme that operates using MS Access. The software loads and functions perfectly on my desktop computer, when I put it onto my laptop, it loads but when I agree to the terms and conditions a switchboard should open but all I get is a grey blank screen with only file, window and help. I did have Nortons 2005 internet suite on it but I have removed that thinking it had something to do with that, restarted my computer removed and reloaded the software and the same happens. I think there is something wrong with the settings on the laptop or some form of script blocking. I am absolutesly exasperated. Please help with any suggestions as I know that the software is functioning and I know that Access is functioning and obviously Access thinks it is displaying everything or there would be an error box. Please help!!

Animated Splash Screen
Oct 18, 2005I have learned how to create animated command buttons within a form. This works out great, but this brought on new ideas.
Currently, all I have is a stand alone picture (our logo) that is stored in the same directory as the db and to my knowledge this has nothing to do with access at all (other then it pulling the .bmp). I would like our Logo to be animated (simple rotating) during the Intro Splash screen.
Is this a possible task?

Database And Screen Resolution
May 15, 2006I couldnt find a search facility to see if this had been covered before, so apologies if it has been answered before.
I have created an application in Access (2002) which from the users side of things will start in a form and give them no access to the back end.
Unfortunately, it is entirely possible that different users will have their screens set at different resolutions and so the application will be unusable on some and too small on others.
I was wondering if it was possible for access to automatically resize according to the users screen resolution.
I have searched the MS Knowledge Base and help files etc, but I think it is looking less likely that it is possible. Creating 5 or 6 different versions for different screen resolutions would be a none option.
Thanks for reading.
