Maquee text on form using ActiveX Control (WebBrowser)

[Stoic]

Hi,
I have a form and I have place an ActiveX Control(WebBrow ser) that will populate a web page with strolling texts, I have developed in html.
In the form 'On Current Event' I have placed a code that depend on a table called 'strol' that also holds the path to the html file. Normally, this should work but I am not sure why it is not. Can anyone help? This is what I have in the event procedure: I

If Len([strol]) > 0 Then
        WebBrowser3.Navigate URL:=[strol]
    Else
        WebBrowser3.Navigate URL:="C:\Users\M&E\Documents\Organizations\LTTP\Database\WelcomeStatement.htm"
    End If

Stoic,

Is strol the table name or the name of a field in a table? Your code may be a bit confusing. Just to clear it up a bit, I would have code similar to the following:

Dim strLink as String
strLink = [use code to find the string you want to look up in a table, etc.]
If LenstrLink) > 0 Then 
    WebBrowser3.Navigate URL:=strLink 
Else 
    WebBrowser3.Navigate URL:="C:\Users\M&E\Documents\Organizations\LTTP\Database\WelcomeStatement.htm" 
End If

I've tried with some sample values in strLink and this seems to work just fine. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks twinnyfo, it did work. I don't understand why my code is not working. I have used it before. Anyway, maybe I am missing out on some lines. You are grate man. Thanks

oh! sorry, yes strol is the table as well as the field name.

You should avoid giving two things the same name. It can cause ambiguities that can mess with code.
