Infopath form Alert message

Question

I wonder if it is possible to have initial InfoPath form open that has a warning and describes what the form is used for.
Than have either an OK or Continue button which would open the Request Form.
I already created a Request Form which is submitting the requests into the SharePoint List.

Hi Simam,
Browser enabled InfoPath form does not support alerts (message box).
One work around is to create a new view within the Request form and make this new view as default view.
Inside the view you could add two buttons, one for continue and another one for close.
if the use clicks Continue, you can create a rule to show (Switch view) Request form and Close button with Close Rule.
One important thing is you should disable switch view while publishing your form.
here is a reference to get started -
