I need the ability to bring to the attention of the end user certain information in a form. Putting a label in bold and in a larger font doesn't seem to be helping so I thought making the label's verbiage blink would work, but I'm not sure how this can be done.

When your special circumstance is true, set the form's timer interval to a number, say 1000, then put this on the form's ON TIMER event procedure.

Me.lblMyLabel.Visible = Not Me.lblMyLabel.Visible

This should make it blink on and off every second. The larger the timer interval, the longer the blinks. When the special circumstance is no longer true, then reset the timer interval to zero.
