thank

;) you need to do some JavaScript for this.

to open a new window you have to use:
window.open

to ask something from user use
confirm() function

Why can't you use MsgBox "BLAH" in the code behind module? I dont understand why they took that out.

Because the code behind file is only accessed when the page posts back and ran only on the server. The only thing that goes out to the client is html, which isn't that advanced. In your code, you could create a javascript and insert it into a page when it is sent back out to the client, but by then, the reason for the message box is usually past.

I like the way it works but have you got code example of how you did it.

I need to do a similar thing when a button is pressed.
I want to run VB code, display a message based on the result of the code then run some more vb code based on the result of the message.

Any help would be appreciated.

David - see my reply to your message on this for the solution...

you can try adding javascript:

Private Sub dbGrid_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs)
'-- record alternating highlights
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.SelectedItem Then
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onclick", "this.style.backgroundColor='beige';this.style.cursor='hand'")
'e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='white';")
End If
End Sub
