Msgbox not required

[MitchJP]

Hello,

Anyone know how I can create a msgbox in Access that does not require a user response? I have some code that runs, and as a part of it it pops up a message to the user. Problem is that the code haults until the user responds. I do not want it to halt.

Is there any other kind of MsgBox, such as a warning or alert, that does not require a user response?

Thanks!
MitchJP

There is a way to do this that involves and bunch of VBA coding and some API calls.

You can mimic it though, by creating a small form with your message, opening this instead of the message box, and using the ontimer/timer events to close the form in a second or two...

Excellent advice! I'll try that.

I sawe the FAQ regaridng the API use after I posted this, but I like the open/close form option better.

Thanks!
