I created a simple splash screen form that I put up before the main menu.  In 
this simple text only form, I placed a static text object and set it to blink 
to get the users attention. The form is brought up via a simple edit using 
splash command.  In the form properties On After Start EEP, I had simple code, 
Pause for 3, closewindow, return. to bring it up for a short time and then go 
on. The problem is that the text does not blink when the form is running.  In 
design mode it blinks fine. So I took out the pause command and replaced it 
with a simple counting while loop.  Same problem, no blinking. If I take out 
all of the code in the eep and just bring the form up, it blinks.  So it 
appears to me that any code running in the eep's section of the form is 
interfering with the blinking of static text.  Is this the case or am I doing 
something wrong ?  It's only  a simple cosmetic problem, so I guess I can live, 
but I like when it blinks :)
