New level to Custom Message Boxes

I tossed this together and am actually quite pleased with results. I am sharing this with you for comments and feedback for even more improvements. You are free to use for your personal use, not for redistribution. Not sure where this will end up...but I think you will like it. Download the zipped file from my Google Drive:

You do have to do a little housekeeping to make it work 100% by updating the Image Settings form with your path where the DB_Images folder was extracted. I could not figure outr how to make that automatic.

My apologies for the bloated size of the ZIP file (Images were too big). I am resizing and will update the file on my Google Drive.

	Fred Stetson OP @Reply 2 years ago
Done, reduced by 50%

Very Cute

Is it an `accdb` or an `accde`? Might be worth adding to GitHub. Either as just an uploaded Release, or you could VCS / GitHub it, if you want to share the source code too.

	Fred Stetson OP @Reply 2 years ago
Accdb

	Fred Stetson OP @Reply 2 years ago
Downloaded the VCS Add-on and exported source files, now what....LOL

Did Part 2 of the video above miss any steps? (I've also made git Beginner Level 1 if that's of any use too.)

This is really cool.
A couple of things:

Most of the Message Box forms look pretty much the same and there is a lot of duplicate code.
I would have one Form for the Birthday MsgBox and another Form for all the others.
This will make them much easier to maintain.

Also, a button is needed to open the Image Settings Form. A button next to each Text Box would be useful so the user could select a folder on their system or network instead of having to type it in.

@kevin - agreed, but I am just having too much fun.

	Fred Stetson OP @Reply 12 months ago
Kevin yes, the msgbox forms are individually designed.
