>>>How about making your own messagebox equivalent that times out? just make a modal form, with a timer on it to close the form after however much time you choose. If you call the form with:
>>>
>>>DO FORM mymessbox TO lvar
>>>
>>>IN the form somewhere set lvar to whatever result you get from pressing either button...
>>>
>>>And in the Unload RETURN lvar

>The timer is a control you drop on the form. You set timer properties just like any other control -- like the amount of time to elapse before the timer fires. If you want the timer to fire after 5 seconds, you set that property to 5000 (1000 per second). In the timer, you would put something like ThisForm.Release().

Hi Mark
Ok - I dropped the timer control on the form. Where do I put 5000?
