Tick box!!

[datanut101]

Can anyone help, I know this must be soimple, but I cannot think how to do it.

I have created a form to past on help to the db user when then press a button. What I want to do is to allow them not to see that form again if they place a tick in a box that says

" place tick in box to not see this message again"

Can anyone help, please try to keep the tech stuff as simple as possible.

Thanks in anticipation

Chris.

chris,

well, sometimes you just have to deal with the 'tech stuff'...we're not mowing lawns here

what you are asking is not all that simple...if you have multiple users you will have to create a table that has an entry for each user and if or if not they have placed the 'tick'.

if i understand your question, the user has to press a button to see the help info. that is a totally 'ad hoc' decision for the user.

ie, if they don't want the info don't press the button!

hth,

Sorry I did not explain myself properly.

What I want to do is have an information box pop up to give the new user information on how to do somthing within the programme. As this action will probably be repeated many times again by the user, I want to give them the option of not seeing that message again by placing a tick in the tick box on the information form.

The programme is stored on independent computers, so each user has their own version of the database.

I hope I have made myself more clearer now, so can anyone help?

Once again thanks in anticipation.

Chris

There is an example of this in the Northwind example that ships with the Office disk.

Take a look at this to see how it's done - it's in the startup form.
