Access Europe – Olaf Nöhring (Getting Attention with style: An Improved, Enhanced Message Box) / André Minhorst (info to follow)

Topic outline:

The standard VBA message box enables us to provide information for users and act upon user responses to questions.
The message box is very simple and has never been updated.

Various improvements have been made by individual developers over the last 30 years.
The Enhanced Message Box was originally developed by Renaud Bompuis about 15 years ago.
It is (almost) a drop-in replacement for the standard message box but offers some advanced features like displaying Access rich text format – color, bold, italic, fonts.

But there is even more in Olaf Nöhring’s improved version: A simple wizard lets you create the box you want, including VBA code, different colored buttons, custom default button, auto close and enable-delay.

Enhanced Message Box

Best of all: It’s completely free. Can’t wait? Download it here: Improved, Enhanced Message Box
