Positioning (Not Centered) Enhanced Message Box

[dgreen]

But in confirming what I mentioned, I came across this upgraded version of the Better Messagebox.

have you tried the Better Messagebox (Sample Database).

I'm assuming that the problem is the built-in messagebox. I'm sure you know, you can replace the the message box with your own form and then you should have more control.

Another one if you're interested.

If I'm not wrong when I first tested it there was a way to change its position on the screen.
I never used it anyhow because it had several major problem with unicode languages.

MS Access: Enhanced Message Box Replacement – Cypris' lookout

• It is entirely compatible with the standard one: just change MsgBox to Box using find and replace should be enough (see tip below to avoid getting strange errors).
• It allows the user to simply click on a button to copy the content of the message to the clipboard or save it to a text file to a configurable default location.
• It looks and feels like it belongs to the main application, following its colour scheme.
• It attempts to prevent users from blindly closing the modal box reading the message: buttons will first be inactive for a configurable amount of time. It’s not a perfect solution, but it is quite effective.
• There is a RichBox version that can display rich HTML content, not just plain text, so important parts of the message can be formatted in a useful way.
• It is able to display large amount of data. While it’s not something you usually want, it may be useful for the message box to display more text in some situations (log or tracing information, legal documentation, etc).
• Rather than sprinkling your code with “& vbCrLf & _” uglies, you can embed newlines in the text itself by using C-style “\n” escape sequences that will automatically be transformed into the appropriate newlines. Makes for clearer code and less typing.
• Because you get the source, you can easily customise the message box with new icons and colours to better match your overall application’s personality.
• It is non-blocking: if your application forces users to log-off after a certain amount of inactivity, the enhanced message box will just close rather than prevent Access from shutting down like the standard MsgBox does. Of course, it’s up to you to decide how to handle that gracefully, if at all.
• It properly displays the expected button captions based on the language of the operating system, so it behaves very much like the default MsgBox (for instance, it will properly display “Cancel” on English systems and “Annuler” on French ones).
• It also properly plays the system sounds associated with the type of message. You can also enable or disable the sound effect as needed.
• From of version 1.4, it will display on the correct monitor in a multi-monitor environment.
• Version 1.7 adds support for Unicode escape sequences within strings to display Unicode characters in the dialog box. This was added following the publication of this article about .Net Strings in VBA.
• Version 1.10 adds a feature that allows users to dismiss a particular message so it doesn’t appear again.

pay attention to it's sample form.
check the code how he build the richtext msg thereby avoiding some text not showing.

I believe the link in @Tera's post is the same enhanced message box as the OP used and as @arnelgp posted in sample databases

Two more alternatives if you want to look at them....
1. Formatted Message Box
2. Customised message forms - option 3 in my Attention Seeking example app
