When a certain event takes place, I want to make a label caption blink off and on until the event concludes. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks,

The easy way is to use a Timer with Interval set to 1000 and Enabled set to False.
Use this in the timer code:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Dim temp
temp = Label1.ForeColor
Label1.ForeColor = Label1.BackColor
Label1.BackColor = temp
End Sub
When your event starts :
Timer1.Enabled =True
When your Event finishes:
Timer1.Enabled = False
Label1.ForeColor = vbButtonText
Label1.BackColor = vbButtonFace
This is untested and has no error checking, but it should get you started
