Add Scrolling Marquee Text to Your Microsoft Access Forms

Create exciting, dynamic effects with scrolling marquee text on your Microsoft Access forms:

Using the Marquee Control

Adding marquees is easy. Simply place the marquee control on your form and adjust its size. Then specify the options to animate your text:

• The text to display along with its font and style
• Scrolling direction (Left, Right, Up, or Down)
• Text Style (Normal, 3-D, or Shadow)
• Colors
• Optional word wrapping

You can then set the intervals and stepping properties to adjust the scrolling speed.

Data Binding Option

The Marquee control can be bound to a field so it displays the contents from your table.

Programmatic Options

No programming is required to use this control; however, all properties can be set via VBA, and there are events for mouse clicks and key presses.
