HI,

I would like to ask a basic question.

I would like to use the new automatic not in list stuff in access 2007, where you can specify a form to be opened to add an item to a list (without code, it's a big time saver).

My question is can I change the title of the automatic error message to be the name of the application I am writing rather then Microsoft Access.

I know I can do this by writing my own error messages and coding them in but am trying to use the new functionality to do it for me and save time.

Thanks

Sue

HI,
I just found the answer and thought I would put it here in case anyone else wants to do it.

Click on the office button and click on access options. Goto current database and the first option is Application Title.

If you put a title in here it appears on the top of the window, and on the pop up error forms.

Simple and quick.

I do like lots of access 2007, I have been using access since version 97, and there really are some good new things in this version.
