[AccessD] MS Access popups that don't require clicking dialog buttons?

[Ryan W]

Aside from a balloon tip, does anyone have a method of popping up a message
that would slide away/go away after N seconds without requiring a click of
a button like MsgBox?

Sometimes I want to gives a user a visual queue of an issue and use MsgBox
to do it, but would like a method that doesn't require one to interact with
the the message to continue working.


I could employ a balloontip, but for some reason it doesn't fire in my
Form_Open event where I might check for permissions to open a specific
form.... the code runs but the balloon tip never shows.
