Does anyone have a good chunk of code that will scroll text horizontally from right to left. The string will be over 300 chars. Thanks for the help

What are you trying to scroll it in? (Textbox, Label, etc)
Here is a control for Visual Basic that does it: Overview - Scrolling Text Control - Developer Fusion: Connecting Developers Worldwide. C#, .NET, VB, Java, PHP and XML tutorials & source code

Couldn't you create a label with the form background color and the preferred text in it. Then move the position of the label in a never ending loop? Probably not what you are looking for but I believe it would work!

Labels have a capped number of characters so this idea wouldn't work. I had one going but after 195 characters it failed I was just looking for an open source chunk of code that was already developed. I'm sure I can get this to work with time but I'm just trying to maximize efficiency, no sense reinventing the wheel. Again thank you for any help.

Well I think I can help you, and there should be no problems with the Label, if your string is 300 characters then make 2 labels (if one label holds 195 characters as you said) then just get the X axis of the label and always make it - 100 or something
Here is the Code for you, btw you can always use a Text box instead of a label :)
Make a timer with interval 500 (or value you want)
Then you can elaborate more so as to bring it back from the other side and to continue scrolling (it's simple, but it's your project right?)

Private Sub Timer1_Timer() Label1.Left = Label1.Left - 100 Label2.Left = Label2.Left - 100 End Sub
