Auto-Scrolling text?

Is it possible to do the following in Access 2003?

I'd like to have a textbox or list box display continuously (vertically)
scrolling text.
The text will wrap around, i.e. when it hits the end it will restart at the
beginning.
I'd like to have control over the speed of scrolling or maybe halt the
scrolling if the user passes the mouse over the control.

Can it be done? Thanks for any tips.

Not with a text box. Whenever a text box loses the focus,
it only displays the start of its value.

A list box provides some rudimentary capabilities, but I
don't see a way to wrap the list. This code in the form's
Timer event is the best effect I could manage.

With Me.List0
If .ListIndex < .ListCount - 1 Then
.ListIndex = .ListIndex + 1
Else
.ListIndex = 1
End If
End With
