When I scroll up or down on my form all the labels and text boxes flutter
really bad and it is very hard on the eyes. Anyway to elminate through code
or a property?

Thanks in Advance.
 
This is a bug in Access 2003 when run on Windows XP with themes enabled.

You can disable themes by right-clicking the Windows desktop, and choosing
Windows Classic under themes.

Alternatively you can convert all the unattached labels to text boxes if
their parent is the tab control. There is some code in this link to find and
convert affected labels for you:

This problem is not limited to XP and its themes. We are running Windows 2000
with Microsoft Office 2003 and the same flickering or fluttering problem
occurs.

Conditional Formatting can cause this, under some circumstances. Is
your form using conditional formatting?
 
No, I'm not using conditional formatting and after eliminating all unattached
labels on the form with tab control the flickering was eliminated.

I've heard something about this as an A2K3 bug, probably from Allen
Browne, but don't remember the details. I'm glad you solved it.
