Thanks Warren and Nancy and Patrick.
I think I have the views part down (sort of) I am just not sure about what sort of content I have to create.  Because the field I want is not appearing in the view as a choice. So I don't understand that part.   I just want a simple message saying "we are closed on July 4th" as a BBC ticker. Create a block or an article or a page...?????
I did manage to see a view I created working but it was ticking the title of the views block. So the words delete, edit etc were ticking when I was logged on. Apparently the title of the views block.

Thanks
Tony

It's really frustrating. There are absolutely no instructions on how to set it up. I'd be willing to write them if someone could tell me what I need to do to get this Views Ticker running.

Sorry never mind that last. Just wading thru it at the moment.

Nancy when creating a views ticker does one  have to create a piece of content and then  a view or just a field and then a view?

I have used Views Ticker before with no problem.

I have been looking for a newsticker a la http://pras.net.np/blogs/create-bbc-style-news-ticker-drupal
but when one tries to download the code there are problems
http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/index.php?q=project/BBCnewsTicker
A quick search on drupal for newstickers brings up issues of confusion.

I would just like to have a text marching across a block informing about vacation closures and the like.
