Form outside MS Access?

[Mauricio Silva]

Is it possible to present a form outside MS Access window? The idea is to
create a notification message for the user. It show appear even if MS Access
is minimized (which it normally is).

Thanks for any help

call a vbs script such as this msgbox "Notify user of blah blah blah"

The downside is that the vbs script needs to exist outside access - but it
can be called by access.

Not sure but have you tried setting the "PopUp" Property of the notification
Form to Yes / True?

Hi Mauricio,

One way is to use a messagebox with the vbSystemModal flag. That should
pop up on top of whatever the user's doing, but doesn't block all other
activity the way it did in Windows 3.x.
