Unfortunately, I'd really like to stay away from the Wait Window for this particular thing and use a messagebox.

It looks like Doru's method is the best way for me.

Thanks Fabio.

MessageBox("TextBox Valid")

to be

MessageBox("TextBox Valid",0,2000)

But it makes no difference. The button click doesn't fire.
