I tried what you both reccomended and thank you for the quick reply.
However, I keep getting the following error when using both the the
commands.

Compile Error:
Function call on the left-hand side of assignment must return Variant
or Object.

then
MsgBox = is highlighted.

I just want an ok button to appear on in the message box not a Yes, No,
Ok or Cancel command.

any sugestions?
Thanks!

Get rid of the = character. E.g.,

Msgbox "Hello " & Application.Username & ". " & Format(Date,"dd
mmm yyyy")
