Making Command Button Flash/Preview Form

[velcrowe]

I. The two issues I am trying to address is to see if there is simple code that can be used to make a command button flash.

II. I need to show in a small pop-up box users that have expired licences. When the main License form is first called to open, I would like a smaller pop up box or preview form to open up(without operators except for the close button). The pop-up box will be based on a query that already exists to show those with expired license. Can the form be similar to the pop-up calendar found in Access already?

Thank you

I. Not that I am aware of, although you may be able to "flash" by introducing a timer on the form that switches the visible property of the button between true and false... Maybe someone with a better understanding of timers could chip in...

II. Build a form to display the expired users based onthe query you mentioned. Set the In the Form's design properties set the Border Style to Dialog and the Min Max Buttons to None (both properties are found inthe Format tab). In the Form_Open event of the License form your code will be:

DoCmd.OpenForm "your form name"

Or use Macromedia Flash and have the Flash Object as a button
