Seeking way to control default font size in ONLY MsgBox's in A97?

[MLH]

Without modifying the default font settings everywhere, is there any
way to specify it for just message boxes?

MsgBox "I would like this text to be larger for all message boxes."

???

Not that I'm aware of.
Have you considered making you own?
This would give you more control with the least amount of headache.

Only if you change the master settings for the message box for all
Windows and Office Application.
Right- lick on a blank section of the Windows Desktop.
Select Properties +Appearance + Advanced.
Find the Message Box in the drop down.
Change it's Font size there.

I would suggest that rather than change the settings for all
applications, you create your own, unbound form to be used as a
message form.
Add a Label control and a Text control as well as 2 command buttons.
Name them cmdYes and cmdNo

You can set the font style, size, color, etc., however you wish.

Code the cmdYes button's click event:
TextControlName = 1
Me.Visible = False

Code the cmdNo click event:
TextControlName = 2
Me.Visible = False

You would then open the form, using:

Dim strMessage as String
strMessage = "This is your message"
DoCmd.OpenForm "MessageFormNam e", , , , , acDialog, strMessage

If forms!MessageFo rmName!TextCont rolName = 1 then
' Do the Yes thing
Else
'Do the No thing
End If

DoCmd.Close acForm,"Message FormName"

Code the Load event of the message box form:
LabelName.Capti on = Me.OpenArgs

When the form is opened processing waits (just like a MsgBox) until
you click either command button. Then the Yes or No action will be
taken and the form closed.

Thx for the suggestions. I've implemented form-based message boxes
in the past. They are at least tenfold the work if compared to
MsgBox "Hello"

I wish the Select Properties +Appearance + Advanced.thing worked
in Access. It does not change the font size in MS Access 97 message
boxes on my XP system. Maybe in other places - but not in A97.

Thx.
