How Do I Get Custom Captions For MsgBox Buttons
 

Greetings,

I would like to use a MsgBox to choose between two choices ("New" and
"Modify"). In checking the VBA help, there is no option listed for
custom button captions. Is this a limit of Excel 2003 or did I miss
something?

Any suggestions or insights will be appreciated. Thanks.

Short Answer:
No, it's not a limit of Excel. And no, you can't use custom buttons, either.

Long Answer:
MsgBox is a function found in the VBA library (vba.MsgBox() ).
The limits are not based on Execl version, but rather the VBA library
version. Since I don't have 2003, I can't tell you what version of VBA is
used. I guess that it's the same VBA library as found on my machine, which is
found in the msvbvm60.dll object library.

Most likely you'll need to create a custom form for this.

I have some code to do this but it is somewhat flaky, you can have it if you
want, but I would suggest you use Tim's custom form solution.

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the reply.

I wouldn't mind looking at your solution, I could learn something from
it. Tim's solution might be the most practical, but yours sounds more
'interesting'(Lord save us from interesting times!!! <G).

If you don't mind, I would like to look at your code.

Thanks.
