Pop Up One Time Only

A

Andy

A quick question.

I am trying to code a pop up with the ability to appear once only by giving
the User the opportunity to tick a box in the pop up which says "Don't show
this warning again" or similar.

Any bright ideas?

Thanks.

You will need a table to store the configuration options.
If the user checks the box, write the value to the table.
Add an If block around the code that displays the box,
using DLookup() to see if it should be displayed or not.

This is basically a question about where you can store application settings
and there are lots of ideas around. Anything from creating custom database
or form properties, or holding it in some form of ini file, or storing it in
the registry.
After trying all of these, my preferred approach is to store them in a
settings table. At the absolute simplest (although not fastest) you could
get the value by using the dlookup function.
