It works fine for me too. As Jim says, technically the button constants are
Longs, but I also don't get a problem with Integer, and I tried with 97,
2000 and XP. If you have 2003, try it with Long.

Don't know why it does not owrk for you. It works for me... The only thing
I
see is that msgbox returns a long not an integer. Not thgat it has ever
caused me a problem using int but as a technicallity...

msgbox "hi"

msgbox "bye"

this is always displaying "bye"

why? c (just after assignment) contains 6
at the test, c is empty

what am i missing?

it works using

if msgbox(s1,vbyesno,s2)=vbyes then ....
