Timer Event

[mattc66 via AccessMonster.com]

I want to flash a label on and off if the feild "Hold1" = "h". I tried to use
the below code, but the label doesn't flash. Can anyone see my error and
offer a suggestion? Thanks

Private Sub Form_Timer()

If Me.HOLD1 = "h" Then
If lngTimeVar < 1000 Then
Me.lblOnHold.Visible = Not Me.lblOnHold.Visible
lngTimeVar = lngTimeVar + 250
Else
Me.lblOnHold.Visible = True
End If
End If
End Sub

Try this:

Set your form timer to 500 or 1000, make lblOnHold not visible and use this
code:

If Me.HOLD1 = "h" Then
If Me.lblOnHold.Visible = True Then
Me.lblOnHold.Visible = False
ElseIf Me.lblOnHold.Visible = False Then
Me.lblOnHold.Visible = True
End If
End If

p.s. Make sure you don't use to many functions like this. You probably
won't run into a system resource issue, but you might.

I had this on the Form_Timer event. From the below were are you suggesting I
place the code? Also the label doesn't have a timer.

End If
End If

This is the best way learn!

Once your question has been answered, you can select a 'Did this answer your
question?' button at the bottom of the form. It puts a littel green check
next to the post so we geeks know it is all taken care of.
