Halt to wait for action on customized form messagebox

[mkhmer]

I want to use a modal form which content phrase in specific Language
(non-English)....to get confirm frm user by asking them to click on the
buttons......so I need the mechanism to halt the run process and wait till
user clicked a button...then continue the process....


Anyone know how to do so? or maybe give me a better idea of using customized
MGSBox in local non-english language.

Thanks,

Use the DoCmd.OpenForm method to open the form. Include the acDialog
parameter, on the OpenForm call. Then the calling code will stop, until
the user has closed that form.

I don't know how to handle the language issues. You might or might not
be able to do that. If the words are always the same, perhaps you could
use images containing those words?

Interesting. I explain how to set a form to halt, wait for input..and then
RETURN values selected from that form in the following

You could even build a table of prompts, and open the dialog box using a
where clause to display the particular message..and you could even add a
language parameter to that where clause...

dim strStrWhere as string

strWhere = ("msgnum = 10) and (language = 'F') ' msgnum = 10 - select
invoice type to print
docmd.OpenForm "frmCustomDialog",,,strWhere,,acDialog

The problem with the language part, IMHO, is that he will not
necessarily be able to display, or even just store, any characters in
the language he wants.

For example, he might want to handle arabic text from an english
version of A97. No can do, AFAIK.
