MessageBox Macro Action (Access custom web app)

Office 2013 and later

You can use the MessageBox action to display a message box containing a warning or an informational message. For example, you can use the MessageBox action with validation macros. When a control or record fails a validation condition in the macro, a message box can display an error message and provide instructions about the kind of data that should be entered.
