I'm trying to create a MsgBox that will display general information text as well as a button/icon/picture but can't figure out how to do it. For example, the MsgBox could display: "Items preceded by <icon> are internal." I know I can store the text in a variable & can contantenate the variable with the picture into another variable so it appears as one message. Just don't know what code I need to use to grab the picture/icon & display it in the message. This will not be tied to a form & it won't be something they need to click. I just need the message to display with both the picture and the text. Thanks in advance for your help. -- JoAnn

Intead, you will have to create a form that looks like a message box, and place both the icon and the text in it before displaying it. -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup
