Changing "Enter Parameter Value" dialog box

[thowe]

I would like to make the "Enter Parameter Value" dialog box say something else as the title. The box title may be confusing to my very elementry end users. Is there a way to make that box have a different title?

I finally discovered that a pop up form was much more desirable that the default "enter paramenter" box. On my switchboard I have a choice "Enter/Edit Transactions". When the user chooses that, he gets a popup form that asks: "What do you want to work with: " Then he can choose from four choices: "Checks", "Deposits", "Other Debits", or "Other Credits". The value (1,2,3, or 4) determines which form is opened for him. If you'd like more info about how to do this I'd be glad to be more verbose.
Good luck

I understand what you are saying sort-of...but the problem is that my users may have more than one parameter to choose from. Meaning that they may (to use your example) want to enter/edit data in the checks area but only want to see checks written in the past month. So they would enter the parameter that cues up the last month's checks and enter data/view data in them. So how would I prompt my users to choose the data they want to work with without seeing that "enter parameter box"

Just today I was reading about how to assign more than one parameter to that popup menu...as soon as my 70+ brain can recall that (hopefully tomorrow) I'll post it here. G'night.

Here's what you want, I think. In &quot;Help&quot; (Access2000) search on &quot;popup menu&quot;. Choose &quot;Create a popup form&quot;. In the next menu choose &quot;Create a custom dialog box&quot;. In the next window find the first double right arrow in the next to last paragraph from the bottom, and click it. If you have any troubling finding it, I'll print it to a file and email it to you. I'm done. Gus Brunston
