i have designed a switch board for some one to use when navigating through
the various menus, i would like to have a the title and other texts on the
switch board scroll in say a left to right direction, the scroll text icon on
the tool box is not activated, i would like to activate it so as to use it
 
Well, it took a little bit of research and I found that icon. It is not
active when you are trying to design a form, because it is for Data Access
Pages only.

You could place some 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 = Label0.Caption & Mid(strMsg, I, 1)

End Sub
