Pop-up Button

[RockyAndNickels]

I collect Magic the Gathering and am trying to make a database that'll put cards into it. I have several buttons on a form (the "add a card" form) that'll help me input certain keywords/keyphrases that are used with a lot of the cards.

My question is: Can I use a pop-up window that'll pop-up when I click on a button? If so, what coding do I use to do that?

Pop up and do what? Show info, gather info, etc.

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmName"

maybe you should set the form as popup form

stupid me. i forgot to put that... its to gather a bit more info, as in, say it gains more strength, i want the pop-up to ask "how much?"

Then an InputBox may prove to be the simplest solution; more info in VBA Help.
