Stop or pause at a text box to allow user entry 1

I have a MSAccess 2000 form which runs a function when opened. The first thing the function VB code does is check the database for missing line number data. If missing data is found (a null value) I display a text box for the user to fill in the missing information. So my question is how do I get the function to pause or to wait at this text box for a user entry and once entered continue with the function code. Basically I want the Text box to perform similar to an input box, but I would rather not use a input box since this does not look very professional and does not match the other items on my form. Is this at all possible

Thank you very much for any assistance.
 
Hi

One way, have the text box on another form, open this form in dialog mode, code execution will then stop until you close the (dialog) form
