Disable form with a checkbox

[ezpc]

I want a user to be able to turn off an informational form with a checkbox. I added this code to the On Open event of the form.

If Me.HideIntro = True Then
DoCmd.Close
End If

It didn't work though. The check box doesn't stay checked and the form continues to open after it has been checked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you looked at the example in the Northwind db?

Checkbox form in Northwin

Rich,

Yes, I have looked at the one in Northwind. I got a little confused though because that one is on the startup form and I do want my existing startup form to stay the same(it has a verification of backend location routine).
