• Another method Reference. This uses a Pop-Up box as the MSGBOX.

Code:

Sub Test1()
 Dim AckTime As Integer, InfoBox As Object

 Set InfoBox = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
 AckTime = 3
 Select Case InfoBox.Popup("Click OK or do nothing within 3 seconds.", _
 AckTime, "This is your Message Box", 0)

 Case 1, -1
  Exit Sub
 End Select
End Sub
