I want to change the text color of several words in a msgbox text. What's the trick?

Thank-you!

This is not possible using VBA.

Design a custom msgbox using a userform.

Not possible. However, you can change the color of all of the text,
in a message box using a Windows setting. A lot of other text
gets changed along with it.

Hmmmmm. Really thought there would be something akin to the html tags in html that could. I know in a line item in the formula bar I could insert something like [red] and it would change subsequent over to the color, but it has been a real long time since doing so, so even if it would work I probably won't recall the correct syntax. Anyway, if all else fails, I suspect the good old write-up-my-own-darned-msgbox-form method will work!

Thank-you, all, for your input. Hope to return the favor someday-
