Query Tables And Screen Flickers

No, this is not about ScreenUpdating = True/False

Neither is it because you've turned SU off, and then used 'Select' or 'DoEvents' etc in your code.

When running an update for a QueryTable (once a second), 3 'buttons' (activeX image controls with code behind them) flicker - though I see no reference to selecting and/or screenupdating in my code

Is this purely something about refreshing a querytable that I can't fix?

Is there a subclass or API call I can intercept to stop drawing the images alone?

Code:

Public Sub ActivateConn()

Dim strFilespec As String
Dim strConn As String
Dim sqlStr As String

Set RecSet = New ADODB.Recordset

[Code] .....

In short, there's no REASON why I couldn't just use the selection_change event to fire the same macros as the buttons but... well... it doesn't look anywhere near as good (I have a thing about making VB apps look as good as the code behind them is smart)
