Can someone give me a hint on how to have a message box pop up when Access is minimized? I have a form with a couple of subforms that act as counters. When a count changes, I want to have a message pop up to alert the user of the change. This form refreshes itself every five minutes, does Access, when minimized, perform the on timer events?

I guess the answer is to put a simple MsgBox into a form's timer event and try it

The OnTimer events continue to fire even when Access is minimized. But there is a catch. A form has to still be open, because Timer events only occur in forms.
If Access is minimized, it does not matter whether the form is minimized. Or visible, for that matter.
