Running a marquee in MS-ACCESS

[wasim_sono]

Hi all

Is it possible that we use marquee in the MS-ACCESS. I knew that in 'Data Acess page' We can use scrolling text control but I want to use it in form or in database so that it off the screen of MS-ACCESS and user can do other works or run other softwares but the scrolling text still moving in status bar or top of the screen. If yes then how please define it in detail.

Thanx.

Regards.

Just off the top of my head you could have something like the following:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.lblScroll.Caption = "This is my scrolling text ..." & Space(30)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me.lblScroll.Caption = _
Mid(Me.lblScroll.Caption, 2, Len(Me.lblScroll.Caption) - 1) & _
Left(Me.lblScroll.Caption, 1)
End Sub

You would need a label on your form named "lblScroll", and set the timer interval to 500. My reservation here would be the effect on processing, which you would need to test.
