Hi:
As in the "Wizard of Oz", I want people to "pay no attention to the man behind the
curtain", by freezing the screen while a whole lot of things happen. I know about ECHO
OFF, but this appears to reset when forms are opened and under other conditions. Are
there any commands (Screen Refresh=False?) that will stop screen refreshing until another
command is encountered that turns the screen refreshing on again?
Thanks in advance.

Turning the Access screen refresh off entirely is a radical operation that I
prefer to avoid. A more precise operation is to set the the Painting property
of a form to False so that just that form will not update until its painting
is turned back on.
In either case, be sure the code that hides activity on the display has an
error handler, and that error handler puts everything back to normal, so you
don't end up being unable to operate your interface after an error occurs.

Thanks.
Could you let me know HOW (that is, the code and commands etc) I would do either of these.
I was thinking of the Screen Refresh since I go throgh a nbumnber oif streps which involve
opening and closing various forms.

Concur with Steve's advice about setting everything back to normal.
It's a pain trying to get everything running again while operating
"blind" with Echo set to False

Please note crosspost.
Often when writing code requiring function pointers, it is necessary
to write functions that ignore their formal parameters. For example,
a state machine function might take a status input, but a certain
error-handling state might ignore it:
typedef void (*State_Fn)(uint8_t);
void error_state(uint8_t status)

I understand that the code behind concept is a framework that separates code
logic from visulization code.
I belive this is true for pages that are mostly static. Ie. Forms elements
on a page that are fixed in number.
What if i had a requirement that involves a highly dynamic page, with a
dynamic number of form elements based on various user selections. I cant
see how I cant separate code that splits the "form generation logic" as a...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
