Create pop-up dialog message box on opening form

Hi

I'm wanting some help on how to create a message that automatically
pops up on opening an access form, that says for example ' Remember to
......'. I've been able to this by assigning a macro then a command
button but need the message to be displayed as soon as the form is
opened by the user.

I'm using access 2003 - not an programming expert therefore would
appreciate some simple instructions or a good website

much appreciated

re: Create pop-up dialog message box on opening form

Put the following code in the Open event of your form:
MsgBox "Remember To ............",,"Reminder"

When you go to open the report, the message box will appear first. When you
click OK on the message box, the form will then open.

Thank you for your help

Would you be able to advise how to do this once the form is actually
opened i.e. once the form is displayed you then see the message. I've
set the on open to display the message still linking it to the macro i
set up.

Your help is much appreciated

thank you
