Timed MsgBox and JPG in a form?

[Dennis]

Here's what I'd like to do:

I want a popup message box with text saying "To insert a NEW RECORD, click
this", and then a small screen-cap of the ">*" button. I want this msgbox to
stay up for 5 seconds, OR until the user clicks OK.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

Use the forms Timer event. Set the TimerInterval to 5000 (1000 = 1 sec).
In the form Timer Event, enter some code that will close the form. Or is
your question more along the lines of how to display the image of the "new
record" button?

If that is the case, then add a command button to the form with the "go to
new 1" or "go to new 2" picture. Don't put any code behind the button, and
it won't do anything if the user presses it.
