I'm sure the problem is more obvious because the form is in continuous view. Each single visible record has to retrieve and display its own image, and that takes just that much longer to render on a monitor and that results in the flicker you see as they are sequentially rendered and displayed. It's as much a resource problem as it is an "Access problem" in that sense.
If this is a deal breaker for your application, i.e. if the ability to store images internally and render multiple images simultaneously on a continuous view form are both crucial to its success, I understand the frustration, but I simply don't know of an alternative application that does both data and image manipulation at this level.
I wonder how this experience might compare to a web site, for example? One that displays multiple images on a single screen? Things like real estate sites showing multiple properties, for example. I seem to recall that occasionally can be a similar experience, although it tends to be more along the lines of one image loading at a time, not flickering of loaded images. What has your experience been?
This may not be a realistic solution, but one thing that occurred to me as a work around could be to preload this form as a hidden form, thus allowing the images to settle. Then you could make it visible when you need it, rather than opening and closing it over and over.
