"Modeless" Message Boxes?

I would like to be able to move a Message Box when it appears, so that
I can see behnind it before making a decision. However, as it moves,
it effectively justs wipes the screen clear .... I'm familiar with
modeless UserForms, is there a way to make a Message Box act like this
(not so mas to actually access the worksheet, but to be able to see
everything first).

Cheers for any help,

Mark

Mark,

I don't get this problem myself, moving the message box does just what you
want.

However, you could always build a userform to display the message, it would
be a very simple form, and make this modeless.

It seems that you have using Application.screenupdating=false
So before popup msgbox you have to again set it to true.

Application.screenupdating=True
msgbox "Now move the msgbox"
Click to expand...

Bob & Shah Shailesh,

Yes, I finally worked it out, doh! I use
Application.screenupdating=False as a default, and recently updated my
error handling ... inadvertantly messing up some message boxes. Thanks
for your help,

Mark
