MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / September 2005Dialog Box
I would like to have a dialog box appear each time a Word Document is opened. The dialog box will only be a notice to users when opening the document, so the option they would have to close the dialog box is "OK". How would I do this? I am working on Word 2003 on XP workstations. Thank you, your assistance would be much appreciated. In VBA help, search for Message box (MsgBox). This is how you would do what you want.

I looked up Message Box in the Help of VBA and I don't understand which one I need and how and where to enter the code. Please excuse me for my ignorance. > In VBA help, search for Message box (MsgBox). This is how you would do what > you want.

Hi, I think you might want to have a look at the article "Running a macro automatically when a document is created, opened or closed" at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/DocumentEvents.htm HTH, Dave >I would like to have a dialog box appear each time a Word Document is >opened.

Hello Dave, I went to the site and it explained how to begin creating the macro, but doesn't explain how to create the dialog box. Would you be able to direct me where I can get those instructions. Thank you. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > Thank you, your assistance would be much appreciated. You need the MsgBox function. Details on how to use it are in the VBA help, complete with code examples. To reach the appropriate help page, simply type MsgBox in the VBA editing window and then press the F1 key.

G'Day Try this: Sub Auto_Open() Msg = "Hello " & username MsgBox Msg End Sub Use Chr(13) to insert a paragraph mark, ie Msg = "Hello " & username & Chr(13) & "Did you remember that you are buying lunch today?"
