msgBox

[joyceda59]

hii

this might seem like a reaallly stupid question. I am having trouble with the syntax of the msgBox This is what i entered as code:

MsgBox("The distribution date is invalid",0,"Select a date")

the error keeps occurring: msgBox if denied.

I have no clue what the problem is.

plz advise. Thx in advance

either get rid of the parens:
MsgBox "The distribution date is invalid",0,"Select a date"
or use it as an expression:
myReply = MsgBox("The distribution date is invalid",0,"Select a date")

Hope This Helps, PH.

Are you writing the MsgBox server side or client side??


Also you need a return value from the MsgBox, so you need to set something like the following:

dim msgBoxReturnValue
msgBoxReturnValue
 = MsgBox("The distribution date is invalid", 0 ,"Select a date")

Permission denied: 'MsgBox'

I don't think MsgBox is a good function to call server-side.
