Re: Form Event question

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Van,

I appreciate your time to respond, but if you notice I put that I tried the
Activate Event & that doesnt work. This Event is triggered before the form
actually opens on the screen.

Maybe if I am more clear & more simple.

Lets say all the code I want is:
Msgbox "Form is now open"

And I want this message to appear only after the Form is showing on the
screen, but before then the user has the ability to do anything.
So for example:
Form opens, displays message, then user can start their wok.

Any ideas on how to do this ?

Thank you,
Jeff
