Popup Form + Messagebox

[Steve]

Does anyone know of a way to open a messagebox over a popup form opened in
acDialog mode?

Thanks for any ideas!

A MsgBox should open on top of a dialog/popup form. Just call it from the
code.

Ken,

Thanks for replying!

You missed my question!

MsgBox "Whatever"
DoCmd.OpenForm "MyForm",,,,,acDialog

In the above code, the message box has to close before MyForm opens.

DoCmd.OpenForm "MyForm",,,,,acDialog
MsgBox "Whatever"

In this code, MyForm has to either become not visible or close before the
messagebox opens.

I'm looking for a way to have them both open at the same time.

You could try

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Visible = True
MsgBox "blah"
End Sub

in the form module.

You're right...I didn't understand that this was what you wanted to do.

Open the MsgBox from the Dialog form, not from the calling form. As Lyle
suggests, you can do this in the dialog form's OnLoad event; or you can use
the dialog form's OnOpen event.
