msg box?? 1

[Parmb]

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a database, i would like for it to have a help function for certain items - hence i wondered if Access has the VB message box function??

Also does anyone have any example msg code i can work from, heven't used VB in years.

Also when coding it behind a command button do i enter the code on click event + how do i change the button to look like a ? symbol??

any help appreciated
thanks in advance

Parm, the msgbox function is available in Access. Actually, it's very very popular and used in most databases.

You can look in Access help for the full syntax and options, but the basic code is simply:
Msgbox "Message to print here"

To make a button display a "?", just enter "?" in the caption property. Maq B-)

To display a Question Mark use:

MsgBox &quot;Your Message&quot;, vbQuestion

There are other types of message boxes as well (i.e. vbInformation and vbExclamation) Each one places a different icon in your message box.
