Question
HI ,

I have created a database where there is a follow up, i want to put up a pop up window such that when the follow up comes it should pop up to the user, this should happen as soon as some one enters the database switchboard.

Can some one help me pls, its urgent

Answer
Without knowing how one determines if a followup is necessary its hard to advise. But you can use the On Open event of the switchboard and add code like:

If Followup Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "formname"
End If

Hope this helps,
