How do I make data blink in MS Access based on specified criteria

Guest

When I first took a course to learn Access ver 1.0 many years ago, I say the
ability to have form/report data blink based on certain criteria. I never
used that feature since but would like to now. I can find no reference to the
"Blink" feature. An example would be to have data blink if past an
expiration date, and not blink if the date is in the future.

Thanks for any help!

You could do this on a form. As far as I know, it can't be done on a
report.

You use the forms OnTimer event to change the appearance of a control (or
controls) and set the Timer Interval the number of milliseconds between
changes

Simple sample code

Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me.txtChangeNumber.FontBold = Not (Me.txtChangeNumber.FontBold)
End Sub
