I am looking for assistance with an issue I am gettting with an
Access2k application. When I have xp style switched on, switching from
screen to screen causes the first screen to resize to it's 'restore'
size before the second screen appears. This causes a 'flicker' affect
on the screen. Any suggestions?

Kind Regards
Tim Allard

Tim, are the flickering controls on the page of a tab control? Or in an
option group?

If so, see:

for an explanation and workaround.

Allen, have you heard of this before with *Access 2000* and Windows XP
themes? I know it's been reported beacoup time with Access 2003.

No: doesn't apply to A2000.

Next suspect would be conditional formatting, particularly on calculated
controls:
