General Message Box Question
 

Whenever you prompt a message box, using this format:

returnvalue = MsgBox("Did you remember to log in your
name?",64,"Message")

If I had a long statement or wanted to add a second sentence, is it
possible
(or how do you), continue or put the second sentenceon another line?

Or does excel just place everything on one line?

Thanks,
EMoe

Use vbNewLine to break text up in to multiple lines. E.g.,

MsgBox "Line one" & vbNewLine & "Line two"

Good evening Emoe

There are two ways of doing it, both demostrated in this macro. Take
your pick.

Sub example()
MsgBox "This is line 1" & vbLf & "This is line 2" _
& Chr(13) & "This is line 3"
End Sub

HTH

Hi Emoe

No problem, I appreciate the feedback.

However, it seem that our questions posts are now duplicated on the
Microsoft site, but (judging from the response) not the answers
posted!
