"flicker"

[TDS]

I have a mainform with a subform that shows individual properties (houses).
Also on the main form is a imageframe that displays a picture of the house
depending on which record is selected in the subform. The pictures are
linked from a separate directory.

Everything works fine - except there is a quick "flicker" each time a new
record is selected and a new picture is displayed. The flicker is caused by
a message box appearing for a split second saying "importing
c:\photos\photoname.jpg"

I assume it is caused because I am linking the photos instead of embedded.
The pictures change constantly and there are many thousands of them so
embedding is not an option.

Is there a way to turn that message off? Any other ideas?
