I am SO sorry for your users having to read all that tiny print!

Instead of a standard Msgbox, create your own out of an unbound form. Put
the text in a label and add buttons to your heart's content. Set the Modal
and Pop Up properties of the form to do what you want. Change the format for
things like scroll bars until it looks good enough.

From the help topic on "MsgBox Function":

<quote>
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.
