Default Message Box

Is keep spaces is the only way to start a new row in the message box or there is another way?
Also, how can I make a part of the message content bold or change the font size & color?
Can I insert a small table (3 columns & 3 rows) in the message box? Thank you.


Code:
Call MsgBox("You Are Not Authorized and you need to -------", vbExclamation, "Warning")

To start a new line in the message box you can use carriage return/linefeed characters. I tend to use vbNewLine:
Code:
MsgBox "hello" & vbNewLine & "the" & vbNewLine & "world!"
For more information on vbNewLine, have a look in the VBA helpfile.


To make part of the message content bold or format the size and colour, you have two choices.
(1) Use some very complicated API calls
(2) Instead of using the built-in messagebox, create your own userform to display the message.

Option (2) is very simple and is the one I recommend. It would also be easy to have a table on your userform.

Hi,

Perhaps this you tube video will help as a starting point:

To begin with, you will be particularly interested in Label controls which will let you write your message on the userform.
