In the sample question Msgbox below the 'Yes' answer is the Default (If user simply hits the 'Enter' key as their response).

Code:
If vbYes = MsgBox("My Question", vbYesNo, "Confirm Answer") Then

Is there a way to have exactly the same question Msgbox as above, but have the 'No' as the Default?
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Code:
If vbNo = MsgBox("My Question", vbYesNo, "Confirm Answer") Then

Try

Code:
If vbYes = MsgBox("My Question", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Confirm Answer") Then

Perfect VoG! Just what I was looking for.

Thanks Kenneth, but that still left the 'Yes' response as the Default. Gets very confusing to ask a negative question and answer with a 'Yes' to result the opposite meaning of the intended question. See I told you it's confusing!

To get a true negative unless you clicked on "Yes", I used
VBA Code:
If vbYes <> MsgBox("My Question", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2) Then
