Thanks for the advice Brian
Actually, I am running Windows Classic, and I made several changes in
the 'advanced' section of Appearances, and they all took just fine
except for the message box. I noticed that when I made the changes to
the message box it showed the changes while still in the module, but
when I click apply and back out of the module, the changes are not
available when working in my programs, even after a re-boot of the
system.
Any ideas why it might show up in the example when I make the changes
but won't show up in actual use?
Thanks for your time and expertise. It is much appreciated
Joanne
