Thanks for the reply John, I do have some calculated controls on my main (invoice) form, which reference a sub form (parts used, prices, volumes etc) I'm using MS-Access 2000, from Office 2000 premium developer edition with no service pack.
Would using the version that comes woth Office 2003 Pro be better? We have copies of this ready to install after one of our machines is relieved of its DOS program and can be upgraded to WinXP Keith Browning Browning's Electronic Services 32-34 High Street Dannevirke New Zealand 5491 64 6 374 6322 ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Viescas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 2:33 AM Subject: RE: [ms_access] Flickering fields. Keith- I vaguely remember that this problem is caused in certain versions of Access by either a calculated control on an outer form that references fields on a subform or vice-versa. What version of Access do you have, and what Service Pack? (Choose About from the Help menu.)

Hi all, I have a problem with some of my databases where some fields will flicker or not display their data until the mouse is moved over them. The mouse only has to be moved across certain fields, Without the any buttons being clicked. My last masterpiece has a couple of forms which are seriously afflicted this way. Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Regards Keith Browning Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
