Do this:
create new microsoft access database
create new table named Table1 with only two columns ID,Text
ID - autonumber, primary key
Text - text
Enter some fields in the text, try with more text and more records
Create new form
Set recordsouce = Table1 in design view
Add the two fields into details section
Make sure the Control wizard is ON
Add listbox in the form header section, and by the way choose "Find a
record on my form based on what I select in my listbox" when asked ,
also height to display aproximately 20 records.
Thats it.
Now open the form in form view, and try choosing different records in
the listbox with the mouse. You will see that the ListBox blinks. This
is what I was talking about. This is very anoying when it comes to
listboxes with about 4 columns and 100 records.
This was not the issue in Access 2002. I have a database in Access
2002 worked with it for 2 years, now i transferred to 2003 and this
problem is what I don't like in 2003.
So Douglas, please tell me what is wrong with my listboxes. I tried
this on several computers on different locations. The listbox should
not blink (when I mean blink, it means that it repaints itself, causing
blinking on the corners, the text)
Also in 2003 my clients have noticed the same problem with Comboboxes,
not showing the text in the column, even the black horizontal label is
there, and etc...
