Hi,

I hve a form with 1 subform with a calculated field and
since I swithched to Access 2003 it flickers continously
when I open the form (very annoying).
In the status bar says: Calculating... for a very long
time.The actual calculation is (Field A * Field B / 144)
not a complicated one.
Sometimes placing the mouse on top it makes stop.

Does anyone know why? and how to fix it.

Thanks in advance,
Emilio
 
There was a bug in the beta, but that was fixed and I personally tested it.

Try writing the calculation like this:

((Field A * Field B) / 144)

Also, if you have a date field in a textbox, don't make it the first or last
control in the record.

Thanks a lot, it improvre quite a bit, now it only
flickers lightly in the calculating column, is pretty
much as it used to be with Access XP.
I forgot to mention that in another form, this time no
calculations it also flickers badly in 1 subform.
Was it there any other issue associated with this problem?

Thanks again,
Emilio

Hi Emilio, check for code in the main/sub form events;
OnOpen, OnLoad, OnCurrent. If 'yes' put in a breakpoint.
My guess is that there is a bit of reiteration somewhere.
