    I have a form where I need a box to flicker if there is something in there.


    How do you make a box on a form blink red when there is a date in that field. I am create a warning system that lets people know that there are people who expire today.

    The red is easy; you can just use Conditional Formatting. The blinking would need to be done with the form's timer event, and wouldn't work properly if the form was in continuous or datasheet view (the blinking would affect all records, not just expired ones). It could work in single view.
