Return value from 'personalised' message form (1 Viewer)

Hi all
My users are dismissing messages that I display with a standard msgbox.

I therefore want to display a bespoke 'msgbox' that looks completely different to those displayed by the system.
That way - they will (hopefully) take more time to read the message - and answer the question properly.

I have created a form called Frm_Warning with the following objects.
Frm_Title
Frm_Message
Btn_One
Btn_Two

I have also created a global variable which is set, depending on which button was clicked by the user.

When a certain condition is met, the form is opened and the caption/values of each object are assigned, depending on what the trigger was.

However, If I open the Frm_Warning from any form, I must set its mode to ACDialog so that the code in the calling form waits for input from the Frm_Warning.

The problem is that I cannot open the form in ACDialog and then assign the values.
I also cannot open the form in ACEdit mode because then to the code on the calling form doesn't wait for the input from Frm_Warning.

How do i get around this?

You can 1) use the OpenArgs parameter of the DoCmd.OpenForm method call, or you can 2) assign a public value somewhere that the opening form can read.

1) In the first case you would do something like this in the calling code...
...and then in the form that opens as a dialog you can read and use the OpenArgs property, like...

2) In this approach, set the value of some variable that stays in scope while the acDialog form opens, so maybe a TempVar, or a public variable on a hidden form...
...and then as the form opens, we read the data previously placed in the TempVar...
For object types, open a hidden form with a public property of the type you want to pass to your acDialog form, assign the object to the hidden form's property, then when your acDialog form opens, read that property back from the hidden form.
