Dialog Box

[Pam]

I'm looking for a way to relate a dialog box that will pop up with notes for
a specific job when that job number is entered. Example: Form that opens
with parameter box asking for job number. After entering job number, I want
a box to open with specific notes pertaining to that job number. I can get
the dialog box to open, but not sure how to relate it to job opening.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Pam

Why not just create a table with the job number and the dialog text. You
will somehow have to relate the text you want displayed with the job number
and this is the simplest way to do that.

I have that on the screen, but it's wanted in a way that the info in the
dialog box really has the users attention and they have to click out of the
box to enter other job info.

In the afterupdate event of the combo open another form designed as
popup and modal and have it display the notes and as a source for the
note txtbox have it point back to the note field in the calling form.
