Call on a msgbox from a different object

[lee123]

hi there it's been awhile since i have been to this site. but was wondering if you can call on a msgbox from a different object not to show until you have completed other textboxes.

for example in my project i have a msgbox that when you leave a textbox a msgbox askes you if there is a reference number and it's a yes or no question.

but what if you have option buttons that use that same textbox but you don't want the msgbox appear yet because you have other textboxes to go through before you want the msgbox to appear.

is that possible?

I think u may use a Flag to check if the cursor is in a textbox or an option button. If its a textbox let messagebox appear and if its an option button code should check the value of flag and message box may not appear.
Also if your query is something else as I understood plz make it clear and may give ur code listing to understand it properly.
