Field Pop Up

Is it possible to have a warning pop up appear in a form field telling you
that you clicked in the field are you sure you want to make a change?

rciolkosz,I don't hink you want the warning to appear IN the field you clicked on,
but either pop up on the form, or appear on the form.

Use the text control's OnEnter event to trigger your warning. It will
fire if the user tabs into the field, or clicks into the field.
Many ways to display the warning... here's 2 for example.
You could use a Msgbox to alert the user, or make a label control (with
your warning caption) visible on the form.
If you use the label method, you can use the control's OnExit to hide
the warning label.

I'd opt for the MsgBox...

Sure! Put your code in the BeforeUpdate event of the Control.
