oMsgBox configures the message box ie width, height and shows the message and
required buttons. As the responses are needed elsewhere in the code I set
Boolean values to each button.

I have put the function in a module - should it be in the form code?

If oStyle is a global variable, why is it also an argument to oMsgBox?

What does oMsgBox do?

I cannot work out why the variable oStyle is not 'seen' by the message form's
cmdOkNo_Click procedure. Should be simple but I've gone blank:

From a form I call a custom message box form which can have a combination
of
Yes, No, Cancel or OK cmdbuttons. However I use only 3 buttons by
switching
No and Ok on the same button. The messaging and configuring of the message
box is done in a module:

Public Function oMsgBox1(oStyle As String, oNumPrompts As Long, Prompt1 As
String, Prompt2 As String, Prompt3 As String, Prompt4 As String, Title As
String)

..code

End Function

The oStyle string can be "OK" or "YNC" or "YN"

oStyle, boMsgYes, boMsgNo, and boMsgCancel are declared globally
elsewhere.

In the message form code I have:

Private Sub cmdOkNo_Click()
If oStyle = "YN" Or oStyle = "YNC" Then ''' oStyle remains ""
boMsgNo = True
End If
other stuff
End Sub

Private Sub cmdYes_Click()
boMsgYes = True
other stuff
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
boMsgCancel = True
other stuff
End Sub

T.I.A.
