I have methodically replacing message boxes in my DB.  This is just one I've replaced.  Thoughts anyone?

Okay, that should have said, "I am...", not "I have".  Blame the lack of caffeine this morning.  LOL

Very cute! How are you getting an image on the window?

Monica I wrote a function which sets the background images of all of my forms, then all I need do is add the call to any form for which I've designed a background image.

No embedded graphics, and if I choose, I can change the background of the form for special occasions, although I'm still working on that code.

TRy this link I think he did a very good job on this and you may like to mod this to your project.

Awwww, that's so cool Lisa!  Although I have used forms for switchboards that navigate around a database and opening objects, I never thought to use them as a means of custom Msgboxes.
   One thing you can additionally do, is in the Property Sheet of the "msgbox" forms, set the Control Box option to No.  That will keep you from seeing the Access forms logo and closing × in the header bar, only the text shown in Caption.  Because you're eliminating the button to close it, please be sure you have coded controls inside each form that will grant a way out of it, or a Cancel like the examples you showed us. This'll also keep users from getting out of the box without going through one of your buttons.  Have a great day!

And now I have large checkboxes for my reports.  So much nicer than tiny checkboxes.
