view label for period of time

[pd06498]

In my form I have made, I have added a label which becomes visible when records are updated. It works a bit like a message box but is part of the form and only becomes visible once the update is done.

Is there a way that I can put a time on this label so it is only visible for say 10 seconds? I can't seem to find anything on this on this forum.

I have used code to display the label, which is activated on the 'update' button being clicked.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Have you looked at the timer option to set a timelimit for the label???
Have a look it might just work for you

In the OnClick event of the update button place the following code after the code that makes your label visible...

          Me.TimerInterval = 4000

and in the forms timer event...

          Me.YourLabel.Visible = False
          Me.TimerInterval = 0

changing 'YourLabel' to the name of the label in question.
