Thanks oh-so-much for the prompt reply!

It works! It's not as flexible, since I have to go into the code to update
the text, but it'll have to do :)

Thanks again,
Themis

Hello... here's hoping I can get more help, like the wonderful help I've
received from you people in the past... I have searched high and low but
came
up with no solution!

What I need to do is have a message box open automatically when my excel
file is loaded. Ideally, it wouldn't be a msgbox, but rather a nice normal
box flexible enough so I can change the contents (simple text, most
probably)
easily. Is it possible to launch the contents of a txt or an html file?

Thanks in advance!
Themis
