Change color and position of message box

[Christie]

I have macros that run and display message boxes. Is there any way to edit
the color scheme of the message box? The dark grey and blue don't go with my
design. And can I position the message box where I want it to appear? It is
currently popping up and covering some text.

Thanks for your help. This group is extremely helpful!

Unfortunately, you have very limited ability to change anything about a
MsgBox. I think the colors are system colors (but I'm not sure about
that), and I know you can't change the position (although the user can
move it around). If this is really a problem, you might want to use
something other than a MsgBox (e.g., have your own text box pop up).
