Bernie
This code works for me in one of my applications.
IF .vAMT_OWED > 0 THEN
PROPERTY idAMT_OWED BLINKING 'TRUE'
PROPERTY idAMT_OWED BLINKCOLOR 'red'
ELSE
PROPERTY idAMT_OWED BLINKING 'FALSE'
ENDIF
Settings at the "Blinking tab" are:
Blinking is not checked
Blink interval on: 556ms
Blink interval off: 556ms

Hi Emmitt,
Yes, I tried moving the visible up to top and still no blinking.
My eep now looks like this:
SELECT alertflag INTO vflag FROM customer WHERE customerno=.cno
IF vflag = 'Y' THEN
PROPERTY CustAlert visible 'TRUE'
PROPERTY CustAlert BLINKING 'TRUE'
PROPERTY CustAlert BLINKINTERVALON '500'
PROPERTY CustAlert BLINKCOLOR 'red'
ELSE
PROPERTY CustAlert visible 'False'
ENDIF
RETURN
I've also tried changing the interval from 2 to 20 to 200 to 500
I also tried to make it a var label instead of a static text.
