Adding a Message Box

Question

I am very new to Designer and do not have a Java background. I would like to add a message box (pop-up box) to my form when the user first opens it to alert the user to the fact that data can be entered directly on the form prior to printing. Can somebody please walk me through this? I tried looking through the Designer Help file, but could not make it work on my form.
Thanks,
Katherine

If you open the LiveCycle Help and in the Index tab type "message" you will quickly see the "messageBox method" topic. Everything you should need is described there.
For JavaScript, a sample might be
xfa.host.messageBox("Data can be entered directly on the form prior to printing");
If you want to see this when your form first opens, I would put this script on the form:initialize event. By form, I mean the top most element in your object hierarchy.
