Suppress screen flash

[gusbrunston]

Hi.

I've worried about the screen flashing between forms...

Aha!

Put this in your On Click event:

   ' Hide screen flash
   Application.Echo False
   DoCmd.Close  (or whatever you're doing)
   ' Show the screen again
   Application.Echo True

Allow me just one remark:
If you should ever have a bug occuring in your code AFTER the "Application.echo false" statement then your application will seem to be frozen and debugging will be impossible.

Therefore it is extremely important to put the "Application.echo True" statement in the first line of the error trapping (I suppose that you an error trapping procedure in every sub and function?).

Gus,

You can have the same result, but without any code :

create a blank bmp-file from eg. MS Paint, and give it the same name as your database.
On starting the database, the Access-splash-screen is gone !!!
