Time out on message box? "Mr. Smith" <nospam[ at ]nospam.com> 13.09.2006 19:33:25 Hi. I have developed an Access application which gives quite a few "Ok" messages after the user have completed different tasks. My users are kind of "click" tired, and I wonder if it's possible to show an MsgBox only for a second before it disappears automatically? Any hints appreciated Kind regards Mr. Smith

Or, another approach, If userExpertMode = False Then MsgBox "Fatuous information", vbOK, "Just in case you forgot" End If Tim F
