Configuring MsgBox

[Guest]

I would like to startup a MsgBox in Access code, such that, it can display
three option buttons, e.g. Yes, No, and Other. Is it possible? If so, how
do I setup the MsgBox and parse the three options?

As I understand it, you cannot have Yes, No, and Other. You can have Yes,
No, and Cancel, but you can't deviate from the standard button options in a
MsgBox.

You can, however, manually create a small form to mimic the appearance of
the standard MsgBox function--then you can put whatever you want on the
buttons.

Did I understand your question correctly?

Your three state options for the default msgbox function are yes, no,
cancel...or abort, retry, ignore.

If these options don't suit your purpose, you need to create a dialog type
form to be used in placed of the standard msgbox. But it could also be that
you just need to ask a different question!! )
