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

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

In the recent "transforming a list into a string" thread, we've been discussing the fact that list.pop() is O(1), but list.pop(0) is O(n). I decided to do a little timing experiment. To be sure, I did verify experimentally the expected result, but along the way, I came upon an interesting artifact that I'm at a loss to explain. I used the following to generate some timing numbers for pop() on various sized lists: import time

Hi group, I'm playing with a little generic linked list/stack library, and have a little problem with the interface of the pop() function. If I used a struct like this it would be simple: struct node { struct node *next; void *data; };

I have a need to create a database, and then populate it. However, the code below doesn't work as I hoped it might (it creates the table in the "master" database, which is Not A Good Thing).

Howdy Folks, I was just playing around in IDLE at the interactive prompt and typed in dir({}) for the fun of it. I was quite surprised to see a pop method defined there. I mean is that a misnomer or what? From the literature, pop is supposed to be an operation defined for a stack data structure. A stack is defined to be an "ordered" list data structure. Dictionaries in Python have no order but are sequences. Now, does anyone know...

As said before I'm new to programming, and I need in depth explaination to understand everything the way I want to know it, call it a personality quirk ;p. With pop() you remove the last element of a list and return its value: Now I know list is a bad name, but for the sake of arguement lets assume its not a built in sequence> 'example'
