Can someone EXPLAIN the message box structure to me, as in what goes between each comma and what it means, i know it is a lot to type, but it would be appreciated!

Look up MsgBox Function in your help file, it will give you the exact format of the function and all additional information you will need.

Hope this helps.

Quoted from MS.

prompt Required. String expression displayed as the message in the dialog box. The maximum length of prompt is approximately 1024 characters, depending on the width of the characters used. If prompt consists of more than one line, you can separate the lines using a carriage return character (Chr(13)), a linefeed character (Chr(10)), or carriage return – linefeed character combination (Chr(13) & Chr(10)) between each line.


buttons Optional. Numeric expression that is the sum of values specifying the number and type of buttons to display, the icon style to use, the identity of the default button, and the modality of the message box. If omitted, the default value for buttons is 0.


title Optional. String expression displayed in the title bar of the dialog box. If you omit title, the application name is placed in the title bar.


helpfile Optional. String expression that identifies the Help file to use to provide context-sensitive Help for the dialog box. If helpfile is provided, context must also be provided.


context Optional. Numeric expression that is the Help context number assigned to the appropriate Help topic by the Help author. If context is provided, helpfile must also be provided.
