I know this is can be achieved but don't know how.
Actually default access message is not looks like so
interesting for me.The fonts is too small,I think.How
to use my own form as Message Box?.Many message
box created in my VBA window,how to transfer the
contents of message box to my own form,and how to
handle if the message box has option vbYesNoCancel,
vbRetryIgnore or vbOKOnly.

Every help is greatly appreciated.Thank's

Allan's advice is the only way to create "custom formatted" messageboxes, but
before doing this you need to understand something. One of the purposes of
writing apps that are Windows compliant is that the USER gets to decide how
certain things appear, depending on their individual needs/desires. Things
like font size/color of messageboxes, command buttons, title bars, etc. are
presented according to how the USER has set them up in his/her Windows
control panel. When you replace the Windows' objects with custom objects,
you're taking this control away from the user. Setting text color to red may
seem like a good way to emphasize a warning messagebox, but 8-12% of males of
European extraction, for instance, are red-green color blind, and red text
may be less visible, not more visible to these people. Since the default Font
sizes that Microsoft uses are based on what the "average" user requires,
changing them means that your choice is NOT going to be optimal for the
"average" user. Developers should always keep the end users'
preferences/needs in mind when developing an app, not their own. It’s simply
better policy to let the user decide these things.

You're right Ms Linq,
I agree with you.But what dou you think,I want to enlarge
the fonts and make it bold,so it will cover a wider 'average'
user area.And would you like to give me more assist,
cause it will very useful to me to have many prefernces
about customize my mdb message box not windows
message box.

Thank's
