I am having trouble writing code so that I may be able to give the user of my database directions when they click on a control. The idea is that users will click an option button in a option group, afterwards a prompt will appear telling them that Phase I is complete. Help is greatly appreciated.
 
You can use the msgbox function to give the user information. Check out the VB help files and the microsoft web site, there are examples there. Thanks and Good Luck!

There are several tools and ways to do this.

Have you considered creating a Wizard? I believe there is a sample installed with VB or on the CD. I usually use Wizards for something like this, so the user has to go through a step-by-step process, can go backwards in steps, but, if desired, not forward until the current step is finished or reaches a certain criteria level.

You could also just use a Status Bar, added to the botton of the window. [/b][/i][/u]*******************************************************
