Moving from Win98 to XP.. mouse problem.

[thatguy]

Hey there folks--

I've got an Access97 db that was running on a PII/400 with 512Mb and Win98, then I upgraded the PC to WinXP.

There's one form with two subforms. The user selects a row in Sub1 and clicks a button, which does quite a bit of processing, checking for existing records, updating or creating, blah blah blah, then adds a record to a table which is displayed in Sub2. Typically, it takes about 4 seconds to finish and display the new row in Sub2.

In Win98, the user could select a row, click the button, then select a second row and click the button and on and on. The screen wouldn't update until the button's code was done, but the clicks would be remembered. Now in WinXP, for some reason, the clicks aren't remembered. You have to wait until the button code is done before you select a second row. Of course, the users are hollering about it because they have to sit there for 4 seconds per button click, instead of "click-click-click, click print and walk away."

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

It sounds almost like your subform is like ( or you would want it like) a multi select list box. I am sure that isnt what you would want to hear, but if you play around with a copy to try that out, it may solve your issues. Also, see if you need to check the vb library references. You may just need to convert your database.

thanks for the reply...

i tried compacting/repairing with no change.. but then i played around with the mouse double-click speed from control panel.. i basically reapplied the same speed and that seemed to fix the problem for some reason.. *shrug*

thanks
