Custom message boxes

[Grafton54]

I want to create a message box with the text "Which plant are you upgrading?" and three buttons: "Live" "Test" and "Cancel".

The text is not difficult to produce, but I do not know how to generate the buttons. I have searched the help instructions of the MsgBox function but it seems that the button settings are restricted (e.g. There is an option for Y/N buttons).

Does anybody know if it is possible to do it? Many thanks.

For your reference, one of the pages I found (

http://www.officecomputertraining.com/vbtutorial/tutpages/page16.asp)

for the MsgBox function, lists the options for the buttons as follows:

vbOkOnly
vbOkCancel
vbRetryCancel
vbYesNo
vbYesNoCancel
vbAbortRetryIgnore

The easy way is to create a custom form containing a label control and the appropriate number of buttons and then show it modally, retrieving the return value via a Public variable

Good Luck
