Message on opening a document

[ngardner]

I would like to create a message that pops up when people open certain documents in our office. This would be similar to a field that prompts for information to be filled in, however I just want a box that has a standard reminder.
I assume I would achieve this with some kind of macro. Does anyone have any ideas??
Thanks

Hi ngardner,

Open the document in question.
Hit Alt-F11 to bring up the VB editor.
In the left hand window find your document (ThisDocument).
Double Click on it to bring up the code for this doc.
In the two drop down boxes choose "Document" and then "Open"
and use this code..

Private Sub Document_Open()
MsgBox "Your Text Here...", vbOKOnly, "Your title"

End Sub

If anything needs clarification, don't hesitate to reply again.

Regards,

Peter
