After creating a form, my screen flickers when I move the mouse across a few
labels. I can repeat the problem because the labels are all the same ones
that are causing the problem. Any ideas why? How do I fix this?

This is a flaw that occurs in Access 2003 on Windows XP, and the labels that
flicker are unattached labels that are not sitting directly on the form
(e.g. they are on the page of a tab control.)

If that sounds like what you are experiencing, grab the code from this
article:
Flicker with tab controls

It finds the affected labels in all forms in your application, and converts
them into text boxes that look like labels so they won't flicker.
