There's a squillion things they *could* have done -- let you specify the
button captions, or provide your own icons, etc. ONe of the arts of
programming is knowing when to stop.

And specifically in respect of colours, message boxes follow the user's
desktop settings, which is not a bad standard.

Thanks for prompt answer. You'd think they could easily have written in
the ability to process a colour argument, something like
MsgBox(blue,"hello")

No. If you need anything fancier, create your own with a UserForm.

Hi all

Is there a way to make the colour of a MsgBox something other than the
default grey? And if so, what is the syntax? TIA
