Flickering?!

[QB]

I created a form (Shell) which house a sub-form. I use it as a modal pop-up
to display details regarding a given record at the click of a button. This
works!

I needed to add yet more info, so I create another sub-form and added it
into the main form. As soon as I use the form now, it flickers continually.
I have checked, there are no timer events running on any of these forms??!
It make it impossible to work with because as soon as you start editing a
record it highlight the entire control content and then it gone. Just a mess.

I have made numerous other forms of the sort and never experienced anything
like this before. I am truly baffled and frustrated!!!

I don't know if it is related or not so I will mention it, but I very
recently installed office 2007. So I have both 2003 and 2007 on the same
machine. In this case I am working with 2003. I have been experiencing
several problems with my pc since the install (and I have applied all the
SP.... did nothing to fix anything) If there are known issue of having both
installed at the same time I'd love to know.

Any help is welcome.

QB,

I have access 2002 and 2007 installed on my laptop and my desktop. I also
have a third "development" type machine on which I have 97, 2002 and 2007
installed on the same machine. There are issues when switching between the
different version but nothing like you describe.

Here is a link that talks about "flicker" relating to labels that are not
linked to controls

and one that talks about "flickering" tab controls

Hope something helps you.
