Form flicker

[John Barnes]

Have a database with several option groups on a form. Each of the 5
selections has a button user clicks (disagree strongly, disagree, etc.) When
the user moves the mouse on the form the entire screen flickers, as if the
focus is moving rapidly between all buttons. Doesn't matter if they have
made or not made selections, flicker is the same. Using Access 2003 and Win
XP SP2. Designed the program at home - no problems. Installed it on
client's work computer and flicker occurs. Noticed that the client
computer has a slightly different button style. All buttons are rounded off.
Home computer has square buttons.
Any ideas about what causes the flicker? Monitor is fine on all other
applications/programs.

John, it is probably this flaw in Access 2003:
Flicker with tab controls

The issue applies to the labels attached to the buttons in a option group,
as well as to unattached labels on the pages of a tab control. The article
explains the issue, and contains code to identify affected controls.
