Change MsgBox font size?

[bulrush]

As we get older, our eyes aren't so good. I have Access 2003 on Win XP.

How do I change the default font and font size for all MsgBox functions?

Thanks.

Here is a link that may shed some light on your issue.

You may find that you will need to use a custom form if you really have to change the font size.

Also, you might need to consider what it will look like at different resolutions.

You cannot, not as far as I know...

You just have to make your "own msgbox" by making a form and stuff... There you can do what ever fontsize you like etc...

The fonts on message boxes are a WINDOWS setting, not an Access one. You can set your own message box fonts to be whatever you want ON YOUR MACHINE (but it will affect ALL message boxes from ALL programs) by (in WinXP) right-clicking on your desktop, select PROPERTIES > APPEARANCE > ADVANCED > Message Box from the ITEM dropdown and then changing the font size.

Thanks. Guess I'll just have to make my own form in Access then.
