Access offers a limited number of choices for button in MsgBox. What can I do when the answers "Yes", "No", "OK", "Cancel" are not informative.
They need long explanations like in the example below.
Select Case MsgBox( _
"You should write into the table using its standard handler form." & Chr(13) _
"Select Yes, if you want to close the table and open the form," & Chr(13) _
"Select No, if you want to close the table," & Chr(13) _
"Select Cancel, if you want to close the table.", _
vbYesNoCancel,"Message box with blah-blah")

Visual Prolog has spoiled me:
There I can give list of button texts for DlgAsk
predicate ["Accept","Read","Close"]
. These button texts need not so much explanation as above.

What do recommend:
- Assistant balloon,
- Individual modal form with fixed answers for each selections as above,
- ???

You'll need to make a form that you can call and modify the buttons.. I've seen some examples on the web, you may want to search google because I know someone's done this already.. Joe Miller
