is it possible to change the caption on the buttons in the message boxes? i can get the buttons to do what i want, but they need to say things other than "ok", "cancel", and "retry".
i tried that, but with the code i am using it won't work. all i want it to do is hide the text box and remove any text from it. here is the code i have in the msgbox statement now.
Dim customers As Recordset
Me![collect carrier] = Null
Me![collect carrier].Visible = False
End Sub
thanks for your help

Is this all the code in this event procedure?
If so then it doesn't make any sense.
"Dim customers As Recordset" on it's own is of no use to you.
Also your last reply has no bearing on your first, which was about msgboxes and Jack gave you a perfevtly good reply (there is no alternative to changing msgboxes)
that code was from the msgbox that i had first, but since the buttons don't say what i want i need a popup form. my problem is that i need to make the "on click" function of the popup change the visible property of the open form's text box to false. i just don't know how to tell access to do this. sorry for the mix up. i think all suggestions are great.
