    Just create your own Messagebox by using a Form and a Label.

    dont think you can

    suggest creating another form adding the massage on and use

    formOld.Hide
    formNew.show

    and on an ok or quit button

    formOld.Show
    formNew.Hide

    any problems give us a shout

    it is possible try http://www.planetsourcecode.com.
    I think you need to subclass the MsgBox or something like that.
    Megatron has the code to do that

    The standard message box is renown throughtout the civilized world for being extremely inflexiable. Short of creating your own message box with a standard VB form (as has been suggested), I'm afraid you are out of luck.
