Message Box Size

When using visual basic to generate a message box, how do you specify the size of the box?

You don't. VB resizes it automatically. If you need to control this, you need to create a UserForm.

You can also split a text in 2 lines :

instead off : msgbox "line 1 and line 2"
use : msgbox "line 1" & vbLF & "and line 2"

The text of the messagebox will now be splitted in two, and the msgbox will be smaller.
