Scrolling marquee

[baha]

Hi,
In access can I use VBA and how, to create a scrolling marquie?
When the form opens i want a scrolling marquee, which will be displaying currentdate, or smth else.

Thanks

An easy way is to make sure the text is wider than the control and then just 'rotate' the text. Trim the first letter, and addit to the end of the string. Of course, you need to use a timer on the form to 'interrupt' the process periodically to do the rotation. Generally, you would need an interval of ~ 250 milli seconds (or less) to give a smoth scroll.
