Message Box on First Click Only

[kristi1023]

Hello All,

Is there a way to show a message only the first time a user clicks a checkbox? Or even something like a mouseover event in html?

Thanks so much,
Kristi

The mouse over event is MouseMove. You could keep a counter variable at form or global level and check the count on click.

Thanks, Ramou. As I thought about it, I need to pop up the message before the user clicks. I think I'm going to implement a yes/no msgbox on the click event that prompts "Continue?" and then base my next event on if yes or no is selected.

How are ya kristi1023 . . .

Have a look at the [blue]ControlTip Text[/blue] property of the checkbox (put the cursor on the property line and hit F1).

You are going to write a clairvoyant application?

Thank you for your suggestion Ace. I implemented it, but given that it's a checkbox, I fear that the user will click before the Control Tip appears. So I also put a small label on the form with the same explanation as the Control Tip.

Joe, to answer your question...yes. I'm surprised you didn't know about the clairvoyant feature of Access. The only caveat is that the user must be wearing a tin foil hat and doing a yoga hum for it to work.
