Message Box Positioning?

[Ian]

Using Word 97.

I am using a MsgBox to report an error related to a box on a form.
Unfortunately the MsgBox pops up right on top of the offending box, so
it is then necessary to drag the MsgBox out of the way to see the error.

Is there any way to position the MsgBox at, say, the top-left hand
corner of the form so that dragging the box won't be necessary?

Hi Ian,

No you can't control the location of a message box. You can create your own
userform that looks much like a message box and position that wherever you
want.
