MsgBox Macro won't work.

[Nicole]

I'm working with a series of macros. Every other macro is a Msgbox with a
different message so that the user will know what to expect next. Only the
first Msgbox will work. The third one is preceeded by an OpenForm macro.
The form opens, and then no further actions are taken. I am not getting any
type of error message, the macro group just will not go on. I've even tried
to step through them with no success. I'm a newbie and can't for the life of
me figure out what's going wrong.

Are you opening that form in Dialog mode? If yes, then all macros / code
will pause until the form is closed. Change the Window Mode argument to
Normal.

 

[Nicole]

The window mode argument has always been set to normal. However, I have not
set the Filter Name, Where Condition, or Data Modes to anything because I
don't know what to set them to. Could this be the problem?

Check that first form's Modal property (design view of the form) -- it needs
to be set to No in order to do what you want in this situation.

 

[Nicole]

The Modal property is now and has always been set to NO. '~'

Which version of ACCESS are you using?

 

[Nicole]

I'm using version 2003. Sorry for the long delay in responding. I was
having a problem with my browser and couldn't read the threads.

Can you post the specific macro actions (copy from design view of the macro)
and the argument settings for each action? That way, we can see what is
happening more clearly.
