MsgBox vbmodless - is it possible?
I would like to prompt a user to activate a workbook and then use that
workbook as a variable later on. The code I have come up with is MsgBox "Is the printer on?", , "Caution" Set book1 = ActiveWorkbook When I run the procedure it does not give me an opportunity to activate the workbook open in the background. I want to be able to click on a workbook and then click OK. In other words, how can I make a MsgBox display vbmodless? Please help. Thanks in advance. |

Add a userform, configure it as a message box and show it modelessly.
Modeless userforms are possible in sufficiently recent versions of Excel (since 97, perhaps). "Fun Kid" wrote in message ...

xl2k, actually.
But Stephen Bullen wrote something that can be used in xl97: http://www.BMSLtd.ie/Excel/Default.htm look for: ModelessForm.zip But he has some warnings in the description along with this line: This trick does not emulate Excel 2000's real modeless forms in terms of code being able to run side-by-side, and should be treated as nothing more than a curiosity.
