Scrolling Text

[RichieP]

Hi,

Can someone help me please? I need the text in the attachment too scroll across the text box. I've searched the forum's and found some info/code on how to do it but I've not really understood it.

Thanks - help is appreciated!

One was is to peal one character at at time off the fron of the string and adding it to the end, using the Timer event , so that it's not instantaneous.

Of course, if it matters, you might consider save the field in a temporary event while it is scrolling for later restoration.

I can not see your example since I am using Access 97. Ricky Hicks has a great sample db @ UtterAccess.com that shows how to have scrolling text "string" in a text box, label and the status bar. You have to be a member of UtterAccess [it is free] to access the Archive Samples section.

Here is the link to the Scrolling Text sample:

Using Ricky's method, I posted a sample on how to use the contents of a table for scrolling on this forum here: scrollingmessageboard.zip
