Hi,

I have a form with a subform, while i'm updating the subform the screen is
kind of blinking (going off and on for the sub form only ... the form itself
does not blink)

I would like to know if it's possible to freeze the screen while and only
while some process are running, That way the subFrom would not blink, and
would be updated on unfreeze.

Thanks for your help,

Stephane Pelletier
 
As the first line in your code, use
Application.Echo False

As the last line in your code (and also in any Error handler routines that
might bypass where you put it in the code), use
Application.Echo True
 
Stephane, I have to warn you about using the echo

1. When I moved to Access 2003, it gave me alot of problems, it made the
screen freeze for no reason, in the end I removed all the echo command from
my application
2. When you running the form, and you get an error, and as a developer you
press ctrl break to see where the code stop, it will not show the code,
you'll see a blank screen, you will need to run the echo true line, using the
immidiate window.

3. If you have an error trap, put the echo true line in it
