aha - I think you just hit the proverbial nail on the proverbial head? Many of my 'messages' are pretty lengthy.
And what, pray, is this limit?
And - to the boys and girls at Microsoft if you're looking in - why the **** isn't it mentioned in the msdn help on messageboxes! Jeez, you'd think that sort of thing would be considered pretty basic!
Thanks David
