Show Button

I have a show button I need to code so it will show social security number
with a disclaimer.

SSN is set as password so it shows only asteriks in the form. On clikding
the Show SSN button, I would like it to pop up a box with the disclaimer
"Privacy Act Data; Do Not Disclose." I need it to say "User's SSN is
(showing the SSN for that record)" with an OK button to click to close.

SSN field name is SSN (surprise)
ShowSSN button is btn_ShowSSN

Thank you.

Hi Tammy,

I would think you could use a MsgBox to do that.

MsgBox "User's SSN is " & [SSN] & ".", _
vbOKOnly + vbInformation, _
"Privacy Act Data; Do Not Disclose."

Thank you.

Depending on the circumstances and situation under which the Show button can
be used, you may be in violation of privacy legislation. I strongly doubt
that just including an admonition "Do Not Disclose" is, in itself,
sufficient. We aren't attorneys here, and can't give legal advice, but I'd
suggest you obtain reliable legal advice regarding your approach.
