    <p>I'm not sure why you think you should be using arrays. When it comes to the msgStr variable logic I would just put in the following:</p> <pre><code>msgStr = msgStr &amp; "Invoice Sent / " </code></pre> <p>rather than the five lines of If msgstr = "" Then, etc, etc, End If lines.</p> <p>Then at the end I would put in the following line </p> <pre><code>msgStr = lef(msgStr, len(msgStr) - 3) ' remove the trailing / </code></pre> <p>This then removes the trailing " / "</p> <p>Purists will tell you that you should never add anything to a string you later remove. I say, so long as you leave a comment there for the next person who is reading your code, this reduces complexity of your preceding lines of code making it much easier to grasp exactly what is going on.</p> <p>Whenever I'm looking for a value to be returned from a MsgBox I place the string creating in a separate line of code. Thus is much easier to see, at a glance, exactly what the code is doing.</p> <pre><code>strMsg = "You will lose data in the following areas as the relevant checkboxes are unticked." &amp; vbNewLine &amp; vbNewLine &amp; _ msgStr &amp; vbNewLine &amp; vbNewLine &amp; "Do you wish to continue?" If MsgBox(strMsg, vbYesNo, dbNameOf) &lt;&gt; vbYes Then _ Cancel = True </code></pre> <p>If I'm only setting one value in the If statement, such as you show, I will also put in the _ and thus not require the End If.</p> <p>I also prefer &lt;> vbYes just in case something wonky should happen or if someone, not you of course, mucks with the msgbox options.</p>

    1. COCheers for the tips. I never thought of just removing the final trailing /!! Leaving out the message string makes a lot of sense also.

    2. COWhich reminds me. I'm partial to using <> vbYes. Just in case. I'll edit my response.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
