And of course you could always embed an IE page in the form and use the <Marquee> tag to scroll the text.
If you want to know how to do this then just shout. Dave -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Harvey Sent: 22 May 2012 12:43 To: 'ProFox Email List' Subject: how best to scroll results I'm hoping for advice on how to show values from a cursor in six text boxes positioned in a straight line across the form so that it appears the numbers are scrolling. First thought was to create a cursor of the values to scroll (returns around 175 - 200 records): Select VAL(stnhorse.hip_no) AS HIP_NO From stnhorse Left Join stnpaper On stnhorse.arr_no = stnpaper.arr_no WHERE !empty(stnpaper.out) ORDER By stnhorse.hip_no Into Cursor lcfile1 Then I thought that I could show the first hip in the first textbox for one second, then move that hip to the second textbox, and show the second hip in the first textbox, and then after one second assign the first hip to the third textbox, the second hip to the second textbox and the third hip to the first textbox. Keep going that until the end of the cursor then run the select statement again and repeat. I started to try to write code for this and thought maybe someone has a better idea, or has already done this and had a quick example? Or maybe there is a control out there created specifically for this type of presentation? James E Harvey Corresponding Officer/M.I.S.
