Hi Wayne

You only need one timer. Interval +/- 200. In the timer event:

1) Test for a variable holding the text to scroll. If this variable does not exist or is empty then create the text you want to scroll and store it to the variable.

2) Update the textbox caption with the text variable. NB Caption cannot be more than 256 char. So you should use caption = SUBSTR( cText, 1, 256 )

3) Update the scrolling text variable by removing characters from the left i.e. cText = SUBSTR( cText, 2) && Drops the first char from the left.

4) When the text variable is empty re-create it with new text - step (1).

There are variations and enhancements to this but this should get you going.
