I have a form called client and i would like a message to appear on enter of
my recvd date field. Still learning about access so is there a code that is
used to give the message and close on exist of the field? It would be just
like a reminder yet not stop the user. Can this be done?

Alex, what does

"you can use textbox Exit event to show such message, but perhaps better idea
would be to use form's beforeupdate event to check if all required fields are
entered"

have to do with the question posed above?

OK, acss! Place a label on your form, call it "MessageLabel" and place the
text you wish displayed in it. With the label selected, goto Properties -
Format and make the Visible Propery "No." Then in code

Private Sub RecvdDateField_Enter()
MessageLabel.Visible = True
End Sub

Private Sub RecvdDateField_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
MessageLabel.Visible = False
End Sub

Good Luck!
