"message box" by Office Assistant

[Steve Miller via AccessMonster.com]

Hello everybody.

That might be a stupid question, but how can I create a message box that is
displayed by the Office Assistant (as a bubble by "Mr. Clippit")? More
important for me is that I don't have to press any buttons for confirmation
on the message box - it just should be a kind of reminder on certain events.

Many thanks
Steve

The Office Assistant takes over from standard message dialog boxes.
If you have an OK box with the Office Assistant turned off, it will look
'standard'. If he is turned on, he will display it.

If he's turned off and you want him to display a message, it won't.
Reason being, I can't stand that damn paper-clip (Clippit? I'll clip him...)

Put your reminder in a label on the form and set an event or something.
Might be able to help more if I knew about the message.

Another option is to use Microsoft Agent, which will give you total control
over what appears
