Messageboxes
 

 

You should always assign a MsgBox() function to an integer variable ,this is used to store the return value. Message boxes can display multiple buttons, such as Yes, No, and Cancel.  The return value will indicate which button the user clicked. Here is an example

intReply = MsgBox ("Do you want to quit" , vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel ,"Log-off" )

The syntax of the MsgBox () function is this variable = MsgBox( strMsg [, [intType] [, strTitle] ] )

The only required argument here is strMsg this is the message that is displayed in the actual message box (remember the string or variable to displayed must be surrounded by quotation marks), strTitle is an optional string that represents the text in the message box's title bar , if this is not entered the project name is entered into the title bar instead. intType is an optional numeric value or expression that describes the options you want in the message box . Using intType you can specify what icons or button combinations will be displayed in the message box.

Here is a table of the button combinations

vbOKOnly 0 Displays the OK button
