Msgbox Icons?

For making a custom message box, ie, an Access form, instead of the
msgbox function, I'd like to be able to use the same icons as are
available for a message box function. A picture control with some
reference to a picture is the answer, of course, but I'm wondering if
the graphics for vbquestion, vbexclamation, vbcritical, vbinformation
are available somewhere in the windows operating system so I can just
embed the pics into the form?

TIA

If you use an editor such as ResHacker on MSACCESS.EXE, those icons are
probably extractable. ResHacker has a pretty easy interface and makes
it simple to extract images and edit strings within a program.

You might find these in

http://ffdba.com/downloads/iconsandgifs.zip
or
http://ffdba.com/downloads/ms%20icons.zip

Then again, you might not!

If you use the first, extract to a folder and set the Explorer view to
thumbnails to view.
If you use the second the images appear in a form fromwhich you can
copy and paste.
