Remotely Opened Database

[Kat]

I am opening a form in an external backend database using
VBA, which opens the backend database and then calls a
function within that database to open the form.

I want to be able to show the user a message box (Msgbox)
from that form, but when I call the Msgbox method,
nothing happens. If I then click in the taskbar to set
the focus onto the frontend database - the one that
opened the backend database - my computer beeps, as if
Access is trying to show the Msgbox from that database.
Why is this? Is there a way to get the backend database
to open up a Msgbox properly, with that database in
control, so to speak?

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Kat

Exactly what code are you using to do that?
