I have a yes/no field and would like the user enter yes then have a prompt stating please enter "textalert or next action" or enter no "text alert or next action".

If you are trying to display a text msg you can either create a macro called msgbox and you can enter your msg here or you can write some code behind your check box which will prompt a text alert

you could write code behind after update or exit to display a txt message

Goto the field properties

in the on update goto event proceedure then type

MsgBox " "

in the invered commers type the text you want to display

hope this helps
