Question Animating text within text field (memo)

[josephbupe]

Hi to all,

I have a database almost complete. Just need to add some features like animating text in the memo text field.

I would like when the form is opened (open event) the text to scroll automatically upwards without me/users using the scroll bar.

I will appreciate.

I am not sure what you mean by animating text.

It sounds like you just want to position the cursor at the end of the memo field. It may may only be possible to beep the position when the control has the focus. It proably will take some VBA coding to do and may not be very reliable.

I would like to make another suggestion. I would not use a memo field like this, while tempting to do, IMHO it really does not fit your type of data. . I would use a child table with a separate record for each dated enter. I use separate fields for the data/time of the entry, who made the entry, type of entry, and a memo field for the notes. The advantage to this is the in the sub form that displays the records, you can sort it descending by date/time which is what you want. NO coding required and will always work! You can even gove the user the ablility to filter the entries or resort them.

Thanx Coach,

I will try that.
