Change the speed of scrolling text on a data access page

Change the speed of scrolling text on a data access page

  1. Open a data access page in Design view.

  2. Select the scrolling text control, and then click Properties on the toolbar to display the control’s property sheet.

  3. In the TrueSpeed property box, click True.

  4. In the ScrollDelay property box, type the number of milliseconds to delay between each repetition of the scrolling text.

  5. In the ScrollAmount property box, type the number of pixels you want the scrolling text to move in the time that you specified in the ScrollDelay property box. The ScrollAmount property sets the spacing between each repetition of text.

Note   When the TrueSpeed property is set to True, scrolling text speed is determined by the ScrollDelay and ScrollAmount properties. For example, if the ScrollDelay property is set to 65 and the ScrollAmount property is set to 10, the scrolling text advances 10 pixels every 65 milliseconds. When the TrueSpeed property is set to False, the shortest delay between repetitions of text is 60 milliseconds.
