Thanks for reading this post.

Is there a way to do the following (in Office 2003)?

1 Change the background colour of the input message window
2 Change the text colour of input message
3 Change the text size and font of input message

Thanks in advance

j,

Those are all determined by Windows settings. You would need to use a custom form fired by the
selection change event to customize any of those things.

Preman,

Which part needs elaboration? Windows settings, or using the selection change event and a userform?

In the VBE, add a userform to your project, and make sure the name is UserForm1. Add a text box with
your message, and change the colors, fonts etc any way you want. Add pictures. Whatever. Add a
sinlge commandbutton, double click the commandbuttons and add "Unload Me" to the procedure that
appears:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub

Add this to a regular codemodule:

Sub ShowMessage()
Load UserForm1
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

and add this to the sheet's codemodule (assuming your message should appear for cell A3):

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("A3")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
ShowMessage
End Sub

Then select cell A3, and see what happens.

I haven't used VBE for while. It may take time for me to try out the
solution. Nevertheless, I've now got an idea on how to go about it.

I truly appreciate your kind assistance.

Thanks a lot.
