MsgBox - autoexec macro

[pm]

upon opening my database I have a message box that asks "are you ready to run
the bank and register macros?" with a yes or no choice. this is in the
condition column. In the action column I have RunMacro - name AutoExec, then
in the next row RunMacro - bank load, and the next row RunMacro - Register
load, and finally it opens a report before ending. My question is - and
hopefully this makes sense - when answering the question in the message box
to- "NO" i want the macro to stop all, otherwise run the macro. I know I
have to put a condition in somewhere - but i don't know exactly where.....In
otherwords I want the macro to run only once - the first time the database is
opened each day, after that I want to answer the question with a
'NO'.......and it stop processing the other macros....can anyone please help?

Pm,

The numerical value for Yes is 6, so test for this in the Condition, i.e....
MsgBox(.. ..)=6

It seems odd to have a macro using a RunMacro to run the AutoExec macro
- I think this needs revising.

Thanks for the coments Steve. I originally set up the autoexec macro so it
would of course kick off when opening the database- however; the person using
this database will probably access it more than one a day. That's why I
included a message box - so she could choose to not run the macro. But when
you select the 'NO' button, the macro still runs......any other
suggestions???? Thanks in advance.

PM,

My only suggestion is you haven't set up the macro correctly.

So can you please give full details of the macro, i.e. Actions and
Arguments, so we can see what we are working with? Thanks.

Ok, in the Condition column I have MsgBox("Are you ready to run the Bank Load
and Register Macro?",4,"question")...under Action same row as condition
column I have MsgBox, under that RunMacro - Macro Name = Import bank load,
under RunMacro, another RunMacro - macro name = ImportRegisterFile, and
finally the last row under Action - OpenReport = Bk Activity without matching
Register in Print Preview. In the column Macro Name I have AutoExec.....
