Hi currently i am developing a few data access pages to enable users to enter data from an intranet. i am more than confortable in developin access databases but have only recently touvhed upon DAP. I can program with access using VBA. What i would like to do is the following: a) When the record has been saved successfully to be able to display an message box. I have been using VBScript and the function MsgBox, but nothing appears, this has been used in the event After Update on the MSODSC object. Any body know how to do this? b) The Save button i would like to be disabled unitl a user makes changes or creates a new record. i am presuming that i would be using the onchange event, how could i do this? many thanks D
