I have a database in which I would like to enter the name of a location or particular office in a form that pops up on the first use or if no data/text has previously been entered. Once this is done, this form will populate the menu/startup form permanantly, and will not reappear in future when the database opens. I would like to be able to change the location later if need be however. Is this possible, and if so, how? (I hope this makes sense!)

In other words, when a user opens the database for the first time, a form needs to pop up requiring the input of a office location or office name, and will not pop up again when this is done, but is accessable in future.
 
pd06498,

Check out the northwind database. It has a pop-up you can disable using a tick-box. Look at the code used there and make good use of it.
