Can I display a msg box after form has loaded?

I'd like a message box to display after the form has loaded, but I can't
find an event to use. Open and Load cause the message box to appear before
the data is loaded into the form. Anything else I try doesn't execute, or
executes to often (e.g., 'dirty'). Is there a "post" feature in VB that I
could put in the Load event? Or maybe something simpler?

It's just a text message that's displayed. I don't have to do anything to
generate it.

The form loads from a SELECT statement in the recordsource.
 
Disregard the "cant do this with Access" message. It is SPAM (or worse).

I don't understand, why would you need to display a message. When the form
is loaded, it is loaded and displays data.

Are you using a continuous form and want to display a message when all the
records have finished loading?

I can't think of a solution to your problem, although I suspect there might
be one. Access knows when all the records are loaded since it displays
record x of xx records in the navigation buttons.

Yes, that's what I want to do.
