How do I set up a marquee in an access form / report?

[Kolkata]

I am trying to add a scrolling text in a form / report. I know that can be
done in data access page but there should be way to do that in form also. Can
anyone help me?

You would use code in the form's timer event.

Add a label to the form.
Set the Timer Interval to 1000.

Code the Timer event:

Private Sub Form_Timer()
Dim strMsg As String
Static I As Integer
I = I + 1
strMsg = "some message here "
' Display then exit
If I > Len(strMsg) Then Exit Sub
' or if you wish to repeat the message
' If I > len(strMsg) Then I = 1
Label0.Caption = LabelName.Caption & Mid(strMsg, I, 1)

End Sub
