Tab Control redraws when traversing records

I have a tab control on my form with only 3 pages of fields. Each time I
select the next record from the record selector, the entire page redraws
itself. Why does it do this and is there a way to prevent it so that the only
thing updating on the screen is the data within the fields? It looks very
annoying to have the whole screen flash while scrolling through records.
 
It shouldn't do that.

Is there any code behind the form? If, here's what I'd do. Add this
line before the very first line in the module:

#IF FALSE THEN

and this immediately after the very last line:

#ENDIF

Then save the module & try again. The change will suppress all code
within the form's code module. If the flash goes away, you know it's
something to do with your code. If the flash stays, then it probably
isn't your code.

Remember to take the two added lines out again!

I tried what you said and that worked. Now I need to find why my code is
causing the redraw. Thanks for your help!
