Moving a messagebox

[libby32]

Right now I have a messagebox popping up asking the user to verify their data before saving. The trouble is, the messagebox pops up right over their data. Can I have it pop up higher on my form??

If you create a form to look like a message box and use that rather than a message box, you can set the 'Auto center' to 'no' and save the form in the position you want it to pop up.

You could also use the Assistant and balloon objects to display your message as you can determine where that appears on screen.

Just for the hell of it.

You may need to tick the reference to Microsoft Office Objects 9.0 or greater...

Here is another example of using the Office Assistant. I am using the Move method to display the office assistant in the upper left corner of the form.

HTH
