I am not certain if I should have put three different
question in one posting, however, I thought it would save
on the number of postings. Let me know if they should be
seperate.

Personally I feel that they would have been better as seperate posts. They
are seperate (unrelated) questions. For example, I have answered one of
them, but I have no comment on the other two.

Msgbox
I would like to have a message box appear and then
disappear after a few seconds or when the user tabs to the
next entry box. I know on forms are capable of being set
to do this but how can this be done with a msgbox?

You cannot do this with a normal MsgBox statement. Once a msgbox has been
displayed, it won't go saway until the user clicks one of its buttons (or
the close box at the top-right corner). However, you could use
DoCmd.OpenForm to open a form which was designed to look like a msgbox. Then
you could use that form's Timer event, or other means, to make it disappear
after a few seconds.

ComboBox
How can I make a combobox so that the last list item
selected moves to the top of the list and remains at the
top until a new item is selected?
As the list grows how do I limit it to a certain number of
items showing and/or purge it to start over again?

Screen
My application uses Access runtime. How can I have only
the forms (Switchboard - data entry forms) be displayed on
the screen? Access background and toolbars invisible. I
want to be able to control how users open, move from
screen to screen and close the application.

Thanks for all the support I have received in the past and
thank you in advance for you time and expertise now.
