I use the heck out of the 'msgbox' command. Msgbox resizes as it handles
more (or less) message text, more (or fewer) buttons, etc. It seems,
therefore, a waste of time to try to duplicate the auto-sizing aspects with
a UserForm.

However, the background color of the msgbox is not consistent with the
colors I have chosen for my UserForms.Can I control the background and
button colors of msgbox using VBA?

Thanks,

Ed

Not directly. There are API calls you can use, but it would be easier to
roll your own with a UserForm.

I have recently put together a VB6 ActiveX dll that is a replacement MsgBox
with colour support and a lot more.
If you want I can send you the dll, which is about 15 kB zipped.
