Creating an automatic Record Display mechanism

[DataBard007]

My Access 97 database has a form that contains text boxes that display
people's names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. The record source is a
single table.
I created a NextRecord and Previous Record command button that, when
clicked, will display the next record and the previous record,
respectively.
But what if I want a quick glance at all my records? Is there a way to
get the records to display automatically, one after another, with a time
lag of about .25 seconds? If so, can I do it with the command buttons
and by modifying the code that is currently in their event procedures?
Please let me know. Thank You.

How about right clicking the form and selecting Display As Datasheet?

Put the following code in the Timer event of your form:
If Not Me.NewRecord Then
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
End If

Add a command button to your form and label it Preview Records. Put the
following code in the Click event of the button:
Me.TimerInterval = 500

When you click the button, the records will advance on your form every half
second. To speed it up to every quarter second, change the 500 to 250. The Timer
Interval is in milli-seconds (1/1000 of a second).

The O.P. will need a bit more complex function in the command
button, because as written, it can't be stopped once started.

what I've done for something similar is to create a form level
boolean variable, IsRunning, and the following code in the
btnPvwRecs on click event

if IsRunning then
me.btnPvwRecs.caption = "Preview Records"
me.timerInterval = 0
IsRunning = false
else
me.btnPvwRecs.caption = "Stop Preview"
me.timerInterval = 500
IsRunning = true
end if
