How to make caption of command button blink?

[Guest]

I have an on-screen reminder in the form of a command button. I need the
caption on the button to blink. How do I do this? Do I use the timer event of
the form?

Yes, use the Timer event. But don't flash it too often or your users will
throw their monitors at you.

This is the code you'll need:

Private Sub Form_Timer()
Dim j As Integer

For j = 1 To 5
If Me.Command1.Caption = "Whatever" Then
Me.Command1.Caption = ""
Me.TimerInterval = 500
Else
Me.Command1.Caption = "Whatever"
Me.TimerInterval = 2500
End If
Next j

End Sub
