Open form - Display Message Box when form is empty

[meagain]

Hi All,

We have a form based on a query. On opening the form, we'd like to display a message box "Nothing to Approve" instead of the form, when the form has nothing to display. How can we accomplish this? MS Access 2002 is in play, and the form's name is "F-Web_approval".

Thank you for your assistance in this regard.

I would attempt to check the query to see if it returns any records. If not, then display MsgBox("Nothing to Appprove"). If there are records then open the form.
