How do I get a count down to appear each time my db opens? The message would be "You have 100 days left until the end of the year" This message would appear and day would be less each day. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

This is the code for a message box:
Where exactly do you want the message to appear? On a form? A message box?
MsgBox "You have " & DateDiff("d", Date(), DateSerial(Year(Date()), 12, 31)) & " days left until the end of the year."

Put a label on your form. Call it lblDayInfo
On your form's Load event, put this code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.lblDayInfo.Caption = "You have " & DateDiff("d", Date(), DateSerial(Year(Date()), 12, 31)) & " days left until the end of the year."
End Sub

Thanks that is exactly what I need.
Just one more thing can another message popup when the days reach 0? If that is not to much trouble. If not this is great.
Thanks allot
