hi, not sure if this is the right section to post in or in MS Office forum, but here goes.

i'm creating a form in Word, using tables. that part's fine. now i'm trying to add a pop-up message to one of the cells of the table so that when they click on the macrobutton in the cell ie. {macrobutton nomacro}, there will be a pop-up message with a warning on it. then they press the ok button and it will disappear.

i've already created the userform for it, but don't have any idea about the coding behind it.

i'm pretty new to this so please excure me if i've used the wrong terminology.

i'd appreciate any help.

thanks
tish

You have two options ...

u can use the MsgBox function ...
Msgbox Prompt, Buttons+Icon, DialogTitle

MsgBox "Hello", vbOkOnly, "This is a Message"

or -----**********---------

if u really want to use the form u created, you would use this

formname.show

and to close it

fromname.hide

Caution: if you are using automation (controlling word from another office application) it really doesnt like forms. If u are using the form in just word It works fine

There ya go if u have any more questions please ask me or the staff at www.geekstogo.com

PS If I don't know, somebody will!!!!
