MS Access Forum / Forms / March 2008Text in Title bar of msgbox
When I create a msgbox can I have my own title instead of it saying Microsoft Access? Also - anyway of sizing it? Thanks In Advance Dave Too easy: MsgBox "Say what?",,"Put your title here" You can't control the size of the message box. You can include a CrLf (carriage return + line feed) in the text to break it into shorter lines.  SignatureAllen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Hi Dave, > When I create a msgbox can I have my own title instead of it saying > Microsoft Access? The third argument in MsgBox() provides the place for a window title: If MsgBox("Click the ok button if you love cheese!", vbOkOnly, "Your title here") = ok Then blah blah blah > Also - anyway of sizing it? I'm pretty sure that if you want to size it you may have to just create and use a separate form instead of using the built-in msgbox function. HTH, CW Thanks CW what is the second argument? I have is blank you have "vbOkOnly" Can you explain. And yep a new form instead of a msgbox would be satisfactort but I am finding that "resizing" was not as important as I first thought. Thanks again dave > Hi Dave, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > HTH, > CW Look up "MessageBox" in Access Help. SignatureTedMi Hi Dave, The second argument is for the buttons you want to show up on the message box. You should, as suggested, look it up, though. That way you'll be familiar with all the arguments. It's a pretty commonly used function. CW > Thanks CW > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > HTH, > > CW And the reason yours works with a blank in the second argument is that "vbOkOnly" is the default for this argument.
