MsgBox Colour

[Jules]

Is it possible to change the background colour of a msgbox using VBA without
changing your overall windows appearance. The message box would be contained
in a macro in Word 2000 and would appear when a certain thing was done in the
macro.

Thanks,

If you want to change the appearance of message boxes you will need to use a
UserForm instead of the MsgBox function.

Note while the example shows a userform with a pale yellow background, the
steps don't explain how it got that way. In the properties pane, select
background color and pick your color.
