Hi Norman,

So we're not alone, I couldn't follow the link Tom referred to but his
comments are enough. Adds weight to this not being a reliable method.

Not sure if relevant but I notice in the OP's quote of the routine and in
okaizawa's they both mention (ver 1.0) appended to the reference
description. No version info appears in my description and if Gareth quoted
in full in his first post likewise for him.

I got the detailed version info I mentioned previously by rt-clicking
WSHOM.OCX and checking properties.

Gareth - following your latest I tried to be a little bit sulky and tried
Early & Late binding again. Left for quite a while but the message would not
disappear without, as Norman said, manual dismissal. Wouldn't even work with
verbal dismissal of the ancient kind, but it made me feel better.

Regards,
Peter T

Hi Peter,

I was anticipating coming back to this thread needing to start my reply
with -Doh...! So I'm rather glad you report similar.

I have now found this post from Tom Ogilvy:

Gareth's observations are interesting, but like you I don't have enough
"sulking ability" to see for myself!

No doubt there's some simple explanation, but whatever it is in the
light
of
our experiences it suggests the method cannot be distributed reliably, a
shame.

Dave - re your suggestion in another part of this thread:
Before posting my first reply I had tried Late Binding but got the same
non
result, ie no error but the popup msgbox wouldn't close without me
clicking.
First time forgot to include a button, eventually had to Ctrl-Alt-Del.
