help.

Maybe I wasn't clear, this is all on one PC. A employee scans in using
barcode this shows up on the screen. Right now when this happens a query
pops up showing the employee has scaned in including all previous employee's
that have scaned in not a problem. I would like the pop-up query only show
for a few seconds and then disapear being ready for the next employee to scan
in. I don't want the person watching the monitor have to press any keys just
watch to make sure everyone scans in. My question is can I make the pop-up
query disapear after a few seconds without doing anything from the keyboard
or mouse.

So create a form based on your query, then use the OnTimer event to close the
form after some number of milliseconds. Check the VBA help for OnTimer
