Message Box 1

[pbellc]

I am using an Data Access page created using MS Access to access data in a database (that's alot of Accesses). I'd like to utilize a message box to alert users that they have saved changes to the database before they leave the page. Access uses javascript to save the data. I know how to create a message box using VBscript, but am unfamiliar with javascript. Is there a javascript that will run a function to run a message box when a command button is run to do this? Preferably I would like the message box to open up and give the user the option to "Yes" save changes (upon clicking they would return to the main page, or "No" don't save chages (upon clicking they would return to the form page).

I hope I am being explicit enough. Thanks for any suggestions.

That works great. The only problem is I am having trouble if figuring out how to get the user back to the main page (say its url is just main.htm). Here is the script I have, can you tell me where and how to enter the redirect link? I know this is probably pretty basic, but I am very new with using javascript. Thanks again.

<INPUT id=button1 style=&quot;LEFT: 1.792in; WIDTH: 2.146in; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0.083in; HEIGHT: 0.24in&quot; onclick=Confrm() type=button value=&quot;Save Changes to Record&quot; name=button1>
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
function Confrm()
{
if(confirm(&quot;Do you want to save the changes&quot)
{
//user has clicked yes
MSODSC.CurrentSection.DataPage.Save();
}
else
{
//user has clicked no.
}
}
</SCRIPT>

change your Confirm fucntion to...

<SCRIPT language=javascript>
function Confrm()
{
if(confirm(&quot;Do you want to save the changes&quot)
{
//user has clicked yes
MSODSC.CurrentSection.DataPage.Save();
window.location.href=&quot;main.htm&quot;
}
else
{
window.location.href=&quot;form.htm&quot;
}
}
</SCRIPT>

on error goto hell
