Can someone tell me how to do flashing text using visual basic. I am an extreme beginner. If you could tell me , without omitting any details, I would be greatly in your debt.........

I have this much from a book....but am unsure how to implement this code...

Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me![Labell23].Visible = Not (Me![Labell23].Visible)

End Sub
 
That's it. Just set your timer property on a form to, say, about 1000 (play with it and you'll see how it works)

Ehat you're gonna do is make a new form. Insert a label, and call it label23. Put a caption on it.

Right click on the upper left hand corner (where the rulers meet) and look for the on timer event in the properties box. Paste the code you posted there. Open the form and watch your text blink !!!! Tyrone Lumley
