letting user know record was added

[JohnE]

There is a simple form being used for entering a new record. The nav
buttons, etc are not on form and are not to be. The form is used only for
adding, not editing, etc so once the user tabs thru the last field, it goes
to the next empty record line. Is there a simple notice that can be used to
let the user know the record was added? Tried a message box but it adds
another form the user needs to see and click the button. I'm thinking
something like a progress bar but I am not that savvy in this programming
environment so any help is welcomed.

Nothing built in because the record was added automatically
when the user moved to the next ewn record.

OTOH, you can use the form's AfterUpdate event to display
anything you want is a text box on the form. THen I suggest
that you use the form;s Dirty event to reset the text box
back to a zero lenght string.
