John,
Guess you invoke the message box from within a valid event. Probably M$
does not want you to do this, because as long as the permission is not
granted to lose focus, it is a problem to activate another form.
Eehr ... , you know that you can have multiple lines (max 255
characters) in a WAIT statement, do you not. Of course, if you want
your user to respond ... I guess you will have to adapt the logic, like
issuing the messagebox from the lostfocus event, and eventuarl refocus
the field if there is an error.
Desperately HTH,
Marc
