how do you make the text in a custom message box bold? I just want the first line to be in bold & the rest normal.

As far as I know, you can't change the settings for the Common Dialog Boxes. You'll have to create your own popup form.

You could create a form with a two labels on it and a command button(ok). When you need the box, open up the form, set the first label to bold and put your first sentence. Set the second label to the rest of your info. You can then process items after the OK button is pressed. Hope this helps.

check this statement:

MsgBox "Wrong button!@This button doesn't work.@Try another.", _
vbOKOnly + vbExclamation

it will print the first line in bold!!!

This method does not work in Access 2000 or Access 2002 when using VBA. The only way to do this in the 2 newer versions is by using a macro.

Just a thought,
