Automatically "Click" Default Button on Message Boxes
I inherited some VBA code that is 30,000 lines long that has various message
pop-up boxes that occur throughout the code depending upon certain conditions. Every message box has a default box ("Ok" and "Yes" for example) that I would like to have automatically selected without requiring user intervention. I would rather not code around the message boxes as there are over 100 of them that could pop-up. Is there a setting in Excel (Application.DisplayAlerts=False only works for non-VBA generated pop-ups and does not work here) that would have VBA simply select the default button? It would be such a great help to not have to code around all 100+ boxes! Thank you very much inadvance!! -- Dr. M |

Automatically "Click" Default Button on Message Boxes
there is no buiilt in setting that will ignore or answer a vba generated
msgbox. Are you sure the Original author didn't put in some type of flag variable or use conditional compilation to control the display of the msgboxes. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Dr. M" wrote: I inherited some VBA code that is 30,000 lines long that has various message pop-up boxes that occur throughout the code depending upon certain conditions.

Automatically "Click" Default Button on Message Boxes
If Tom's suggestion does not apply and the MsgBoxes are in the style:
MsgBox "Some text", vbYesNo You could just do an EditReplace, MsgBox with Debug.Print. Otherwise you have some editing to do. NickHK "Dr. M" wrote in message ...

Automatically "Click" Default Button on Message Boxes
Were you able to figure out how to get this to work? I have pop ups that occur, about 20 of them, while my macro is running. Is there a short way to code into the program to automatically click the default choice, or possibly just press the enter key when the message box comes up. Thanks

Automatically "Click" Default Button on Message Boxes
The default choice will always be whatever is returned by pressing Enter, so
I suppose in theory you could search all your Msgbox and insert a new line in front Application.SendKeys ("~") Personally I wouldn't do that, for the time it takes assign the Msgbox return value with whatever the default value is and comment the msgbox. Or maybe ' code If gbShowMsg then ret = Msgbox("hello", vbYesNo) else ret = vbYes end if ' code where gbShowMsg is a pblically declared boolean Regards, Peter T <Aaron Graham wrote in message ...

Automatically "Click" Default Button on Message Boxes
If those messages are prompted by Excel, you can make them not prompted by using of Application.DisplayAlerts = False Don't forget : APplication.DisplayAlerts = True when you exit code. -- Akihito Yamashiro: http://www.akihitoyamashiro.com/en/VBA/ "Peter T" wrote: The default choice will always be whatever is returned by pressing Enter, so I suppose in theory you could search all your Msgbox and insert a new line in front Application.SendKeys ("~") Personally I wouldn't do that, for the time it takes assign the Msgbox return value with whatever the default value is and comment the msgbox.
