Pop Up Instructions

[connerlowen]

Hi,

I am creating a database that will generate quotations for a business. I want to have the employees enter all of the needed information between two different forms. I do not want the employee to be able to proceed to the next piece of information until the previous one is completed. I also would like for a pop up to appear telling the employee what information to enter and have a spot for them to enter it. Once entered the information would show in the main body of the form and after completion the instructions for the next piece of information will come up, and this will continue until the employee has entered all information. At this point, the employee would confirm that all of the information looks complete which will take them to the next form and do the same thing with more fields of information. I need to know if this is possible, and if so what would be the process? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The process is as with most apps that you start cracking and submit yourself to our scorn and abuse when you have something we can pick apart

Otherwise you are essentially begging outsiders to do your design for you, which is hardly possible not knowing all that you know about what is required. You 'll get many more answers to questions concerning specifics then to open-ended questions as this one. Also, the "is it possible" is a pointless quagmire few want to be sucked into.

Update:

With Access it is very quick and easy to throw a prototype together, illustrating the essential features (or doubts). Make one. It makes it so much easier to advise you.

There is a video on youtube that discusses this. I apologize for not recalling the link. I am no expert, but look into form "popup" and "modal". You may or may not need more code from there. I do not know any code yet. I'm a newbie.
