change text in the 'Scroll bar'. (Or do a moving text

Hi Patrick,

not sure if this is what you are looking for but try

DoCmd.Echo True, "Your Text Here"

you can change the text while the procedure is running by
using a loop.

Hope that helps.
 
Hello Patric
By the scrollbar I assume you do not mean the actual scroll bars for scrolling the display but but a scrolling display

There is no actual control in Access to do this but it can be simulated by using a text box, a timer event and the MID function. The timer event interval can be used to control the rate of the display
Decide which way you want it to scroll and set the text box to either right or left justificatio
Work out how many characters to display across the box, not so eas
Use the MID function to display that many character
In the timer event increment the start character each time the event fires. This will require form based variables to maintain the starting point & the text to be displaye
