Opening and closing Internet Explorer from Access (long)

[bogart]

I have a simple Access DB that people use to sign into some public access computers that I am responsible for.
*
The process is simple. They type in a bit of personal information on an Access form, then click on an Access command button that launches Internet Explorer. So far, so good.
*
The glitch is that once Internet Explorer is open I have no way of telling the user to close Internet Explorer and return to the Access sign-in database (form) screen when they are done interacting with the website on Internet Explorer.
*
I absolutely cannot alter the web page or alter anything in Internet Explorer. Those just aren't options availble to me. I was hoping that you folks might be able to throw a suggestion or two my way. I'm no great Access developer, so any advice or help would be very GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks!!!

The only thing I can think of is to pop a message box telling them this when they click on the button:

CommandButton OnClick()
Msgbox "Type message here", vbOkCancel

In theory this will present the user with an ok/cancel message box & you can replace the text with the message you would like them to be given....
