display problem with access

I have an odd display problem with Access 2003 on XP SP2, latest
patches, etc.

I am working on a not large DB with several forms and <100 records per
table, it is still in development.

Periodically I get my form hanging and leaving remnants of itself on
the screen, button controls don't appear properly, I have to close and
re-open the form to get it to work properly, sometimes close and
re-open the database...

The PC I use at work has 32MB of video and 2 GB RAM, the PC I use at
home has 256MB of RAM and 2 GB RAM, the problem occurs on both PCs.

Can anyone offer suggestions on what I could do, where I should look
for solutions??

How could I figure out if it is something in my forms code that is
causing this?? Basically the form only has navigation code and some
controls code to update it.

This wasn't happening before I did this week's Patch Day updates, could
that be the cause??

Thank you, Tom

Sounds like you may want to try to uninstall the patches and see if the
problem continues to occur. You may also want to try the application on
a computer where the updates have not been installed. Then again
consider the possibility that the updates only revealed a problem in
your application that was being masked prior to the updates.
Are you using the Set CRS.1 = Nothing to reclaim resources when you are
done with an object?
Just wondering.

Thank you, Ted.
I'll wait and see what happens.
There's no objects like that to worry about that have to be closed
etc., but I will double-check.
This is all happening while the form is active...
Thank you, Tom

Hello there, I've a utility that runs on a linux machine. Basically, it opens a window, draws a figure and captures the image (screen) and stores it as a jpeg file. The utility requires a window to be open (or displayed) inorder to save the image. Also, this utility is in the form of an executable, so I can't possibly alter it. I want to run this utility from a windows web browser and display the saved jpeg file. I pass some command...

Hello, Please forgive my reposting of this note with hopefully a more relevant subject line.

I have a Windows App that is doing some work and then writing a "Now Processing..." line to the status line of the window as well as the Textbox on the form. But the problem is that the work is in another class from the main class. So it couldn't access the Status Line or textbox. So what we did was set them up as properties: string IStatusDisplay.Status

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
