He wants to force the user to click the button rather than hitting
spacebar/enter by habit.
You can do this by using a form you create rather than MsgBox and then
setting focus to something other than the OK button.

news:dh******** **@nwrdmz02.dmz .ncs.ea.ibs-infra.bt.com... Is your message REALLY what you meant to say? I don't understand the
question. You can select the msgbox buttons or I guess you don't use a
messagebox but a form, BUT without a button how do you intend to close
it?

news:52******** *************** ***********@mic rosoft.com... How can I create or use the msgobx to show a message without a default
button. The user has explicity to click on the button, so the msgbox
closes
it.
Thanks,
