Open Form question

[Guest]

I have a form where I display a confirmation message upon Opening the form.
Is there anyway I can display this message only when an existing record in
the form is being displayed or opened? I use the same form (with different
switchboard options, one option uses a search window to open a specific
record in the form, the other opens the form in add mode) to allow the user
open an existing and to add a new record (where the message wouldn't make any
sense and it would be annoying to display).

Is there a way I can display a message for the same form but under a
different viewing option? I didn't know if I could somehow use the acNewRec
to determine this or if I am just way out in left field. Any ideas? Below
is my message that I display on Form Open event.

MsgBox "Please confirm this is the correct Local Agency and record."

In the forms' OnOpen event:
If Me.DataEntry = false then
msgbox"your msg here"
end if
