MsgBox TitleBar text?

MLH
If I run MsgBox "Wow!"
and I see text in the title
bar - where is that text
string setting coming from?

Do I have access to change it?

Sure, nothing doing. One of the arguments in the MsgBox function is
"Title". That's what changes it For example:

Private Sub Command5_Click()
Dim intReply As Integer
intReply = MsgBox("Do you want to continue?", vbYesNo, "This is the
title of the msgbox")
MsgBox "You chose " & intReply, vbOKOnly + vbInformation
End Sub

Thank-you there, Pete.
You hit it pretty much on
the head, I believe.

I did a bit more searching.
What I was looking for in
A97 was Tools, Startup,
Application Title. If I change
that to read "My New AppName"

and then I run

MsgBox "Hello"

"My New AppName" will
appear in the MsgBox title
bar.

Er, what?

Do you mean the title bar of a MsgBox, or do you mean the title bar
of Access?

And how would that have an affect on an ODBC-based merge? Wouldn't
only be relevant to DDE-based merges, which no one with any sense
uses any more?

I mean the title bar of Access.

I've never used an ODBC-based merge in A97 but I suspect that an
ODBC-based merge will not have this problem.

It's been many years but I recall an A97 app that opened Word via
automation and controlled the merge from Access. Everything worked
perfectly until the title bar of Access was changed. Word opened a
separate instance of A97 because it was looking for something like
"Microsoft Access" in the title bar.

You know you're dealing with a computer illiterate when...

They keep a CD in the CD-ROM drive so the coffee cup won't slip
through.

They think splash page has something to do with toilet paper.

Not relevant when the question is about the title bar of a MsgBox.

ODBC-based merge will not have this problem.
Why would anyone in their right mind do a Word merge via anything
other than ODBC? DDE is so incredibly inefficient and problematic
that it's unusable, even on today's very fast PCs.

Using DDE, which was an outdated technology when Office 97 was
released, because that was the version with VBA Automation
throughout all of Office. And ODBC-to-Jet was always faster in Word
than DDE, since it didn't have to load Access.

The message I replied to talked about the Application Title.

Because when I did it way back then I was used to Access 2.0
programming. DDE worked very well.

As I said, I never tried an ODBC merge. Thanks for pointing out its
merits.

You know, in addition to not annoying David, you would almost
certainly save yourself some time. Typing the word msgbox then
tapping the F1 key would take much less time than posting a message.

You won't get all the answers from the help, of course, but at least
in this case, you would have immediately gotten the answer you were
looking for. Very often, it's the best place to start.
