Can anyone tell me if this is possible and if so How?

Ok, here is a version with one text box to show the file size and a textbox for the message. If that still isn't what you wanted and maybe you were looking for a messagebox instead, then you can change the textboxcode to a messagebox. I hardcoded the filename and removed the space as I assume that was a typo. So if the name is not correct, when you open the form there will be an error message. The new form is called frmFileSizeHardCode

Again thanks so much for taking the time to help with this. I tried your code while it works in the example you sent me as it shows the size of that database that i need it to show. I cant seem to make it work on my end. I know it is something i am doing or not doing that is keeping it from working.
What i did was added an unbound text box highlighted it and went to the code window where i added your code. I wasnt sure about the module so i added it as well. from looking at it can you tell me what is wrong? the only thing i can think of is that i made a self-executable file out of that database to keep other users from changing the structure. But i have the unconverted version as well and cant seem to get your code to do what i want.

Oh maybe I figured out the issue. since your form name is frmFileSizeHardCode and my form is frmMainMenu could that be why its not working?

You have to change the names to match your db?
