Check MSDN's info on VBA.MsgBox. You have some options for how it appears using the VBMsgBoxStyle constants:

Button choices include:
vbAbortRetryIgnore, vbOKCancel, vbOKOnly, vbRetryCancel, vbYesNo, vbYesNoCancel

Additional graphics include:
vbCritical, vbExclamation, vbInformation, vbQuestion

See MSDN for complete details. If you don't see it in there,
then you'll have create a form and customize it to suit your needs.

Hi scarfhead,

the thing is that my clients don't want the buttons text of msgbox in english (although the English OS). I have to get a way of display them in Portuguese: instead of Yes or No I have to display Sim or Não.

I thought that perhaps a API made the work...

You can build a simple form and model it after a message box. That way you can put what you want on the buttons. After all thats all a message box is

Sorry. I guess I misunderstood the original question.

I poked around the MS website and the only thing close to an answer I found was that you basically have to do it by hand. Though it seems to me that there must be a Portuguese language .dll that has vbButton constants defined in Portuguese. Maybe a Portuguese version of the VBA libraries.

I haven't figured this all out yet, but this article:

http://www.microsoft.com/ACCESSDEV/Articles/HOWTOBK.HTM#Internationalize

at least addresses the issue in Access. It also identifies constants for different languages (1046 = Brazilian Portuguese, 2070 = Portuguese)

I may have to pursue this issue myself to provide support for Spanish speaking users of my software. I'll look into it.
