Moving/Scrolling text

Hi

I have developed an access database in micro soft 2002 and I want to have a moving message generated on a form when I open the form.

I saw that there is this control "Scrolling Text" but it is only activated in "Pages" not in "Forms".

Is there any way I can get text to move across the "Form screen" when it loads?

Your help will be great!

Thanks

Looking for a Marque eh????

How you can implement in Access:

Use a timer.
Make label with text to scroll.
In timer event, subtract 1 character from the front and add to the end of the string (or vice-versa for a reverse scroll)
Set the timer event to fire under a second to get the "rolling" effect ...
