Auto Scrolling Data (1 Viewer)

[SikSlk]

Hi, been lurking on here for a while and can find most things im looking for but for some reason cant find any info on auto scrolling of data?

Im chasing something that will scroll a sub form which is displaying data from a query. slowly scrolling down all the data. It wont have anything entered or edited simply displaying the data. It is to be displayed on a monitor/tv and preferably have either a pause button or stop when focus command or something should they want it to pause. I was thinking it might be something like a move next loop or similar but Im terrible at code, can read alot but cant write it if that makes sence.

i will have a refresh/requery command when it gets to the end i think and or on a 1min cycle? to make sure it displays the most appropriate data.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

(sorry its long, just trying to be a good newbie poster )

This can probably be as complicated as you want to make it. At it's simplest, you could use the timer event of the form or subform with the appropriate interval. The code could be:

DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext

and you'd have to test for when you got to the end and start over again at that point (that alone would error when it got to the last record, as there is no next record at that point).

ok, im not getting it...

this look somewhat right to begin with?

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.TimerInterval = 1000
End Sub

Private Sub form_timer()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
End Sub

seems to do nothing, i just dont get it?
