    Smile Unwanted flashing of labels in Switchboard

    Unwanted flashing of labels in Switchboard of Access 2007.



    In Access 2007's switchboard, when I move from one option to another, it flashes a colour in my database.

    It doesn't look very professional at all. I am sure there must be a way of getting rid of it.

    Please could somebody tell me how.

    Thank you for any help.

    Can you provide project for analysis? Make copy, remove confidential data, run Compact & Repair, zip if still large. Attachment Manager below the Advanced post editor.

    Thank you for your reply, June. I think you have misunderstood. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. To the best of my understanding, it is not my database, but an Access 2007 problem. However, I took a moment to create and attach a basically empty database to illustrate what I mean. If you open the switchboard, and click on Testing1 and/or Testing2 and/or Return to Main Switchboard you will see what I mean.

    Thank you for any help.

    Providing your project saved me having to try to replicate the issue. I don't use macros or the build wizards so my efforts might have been in vain. I do intermittantly see a flash of a white streak across the form. It is not consistent. I have never used the 'switchboard' structure (macro and table). I manually build 'menu' forms and use VBA code. I don't see this behavior on my forms.

    I doubt this can be fixed with the Switchboard setup. As I pointed out, I never use this setup.
