I'm using the TAB control and the onCurrent event to update the page info
when a new record is selected. Tab 2 & 3 have a flicker problem. How can I
stop it from refreshing when the mouse is moved around? thx

If this is Access 2003 on Windows XP, and the problem persists even if you
comment out the code in the form's Current event, see:

If the problem is just while Form_Current is running, you might be able to
avoid it by turning Echo off until the event completes.
