More MsgBox questions.

I am attempting to use the Msgbox function with the Ok/Cancel buttons. the
code I have written thus far is below:

Msgbox("Message",1)

If ans = vbOk then call [subroutine]
If ans = vbCancel the exit sub

end if

end sub

The subroutine does not work when the "Ok" button is used. I have tried
other variations on this to no avail. Could anyone please assist?

Extremely minor point (picky almost beyond reason) but you are better off to
declare ans as

Dim ans As VbMsgBoxResult

Try one of these

Sub Macro1()
If MsgBox("Message", 1) vbOK Then Exit Sub
Call subroutine
End Sub


Sub Macro2()
Dim ans As Variant

ans = MsgBox("Message", 1)
If ans = vbOK Then
Call [subroutine]
Else
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub

I'd use:

Dim ans as long

If I recall correctly (and I may not bg), this type doesn't exist in earlier
versions of excel (xl2k added it????).

I remember posting a suggestion that used it and the OP had trouble--but that
was a pretty long time ago.
