is it possible to change the buttons on like the Abort,retry, cancel to say something else? if so how would i go about doing that and using into a batch file? reno has help me in the past maybe he has some input. thanks Brock

i doubt you can do that. from the script56.chm: MsgBox(prompt[, buttons][, title][, helpfile, context]) Displays a message in a dialog box, waits for the user to click a button, and returns a value indicating which button the user clicked. vbOKOnly 0 Display OK button only. vbOKCancel 1 Display OK and Cancel buttons. vbAbortRetryIgnore 2 Display Abort, Retry, and Ignore buttons. vbYesNoCancel 3 Display Yes, No, and Cancel buttons. vbYesNo 4 Display Yes and No buttons. vbRetryCancel 5 Display Retry and Cancel buttons. vbCritical 16 Display Critical Message icon. vbQuestion 32 Display Warning Query icon. vbExclamation 48 Display Warning Message icon. vbInformation 64 Display Information Message icon.
