This may not be the best way, but it does work.
You need to add a code to the OnTimer event of your form and set the Timer Interval to 500 (you will want to adjust that depending on how fast or slow you want the box to flash). In the OnTimer code, type:
If Me!field1.ForeColor="FieldForeColor" Then Me!field1.ForeColor="FormBackColor" Else Me!field1.ForeColor="FieldForeColor"
Field1 should be the name of the field you want to flash and you will need to replace the FieldForeColor & FormBackColor with the color number for those properties.
