Bernie, I am using version 30314 and it also works on all of the versions before that. I created a test form and used an EEP to blink a static text label and it worked as advertised. The "blink interval on" and "blink interval off" are both set to 556 at the blink tab.
I have used EEPs to blink fields in several apps with no problems. Maybe it is the color that you are using or maybe the blink intervals are not correct. Hope you get the blinkin thing fixed!

Is it supposed to be the number of microseconds that it stays on or off in which case you could leave it on longer or shorter than it is off? I just want it to blink. Here is what I have now: Note that the visible true and false works, just the blinking does not work: if Aflag = 'Y' then property CustAlert visible 'true' property CustAlert blinking 'true' else property CustAlert visible 'false' property CustAlert blinking 'false endif It's in a static text object, there is no region on the screen. I am using 80.30314 does your blink work on this release?
