Scrolling text

[benc]

I wondered if it was possible that if i have a field box on a form and there was too much field to see in the box that the text could automatically scroll from right to left.

Anybody got any ideas or is this a definate no no!

Thanks

Dont know about that or indeed I quite understand your question. Something I came across the other day is if there is alot of text in a text box is to bring up the zoom box by putting this line in the double click event:

DoCmdRunCommand acCmdZoomBox

My question was to enable a scrolling marquee for example if the text execeeded the box size.

The coding that was suggested doesnt work in Access 97 i dont think it has this command?? but i am prob wrong

Have a look at this thread, you can do scrolling text in a textbox.
