You can only change the Message Box colors and fonts globally, i.e.
for ALL programs.
Right-Click on the Windows Desktop.
Select Properties + Settings
Select your color scheme.
Then click on Advanced.
Find the Message Box in the drop down and change the font to whatever
you want.
This will affect all programs, not just Access.
I would suggest that rather than change the settings for all
applications, you create your own, unbound form to be used as a
message form.
Add a Label control and a Text control as well as 2 command buttons.
Name them cmdYes and cmdNo
You can set the font style, size, color, etc., however you wish.
You would then set the message using code.
The form would be opened using:
DoCmd.OpenForm "MessageForm", , , , , acDialog
Additional controls, command buttons, etc., on the form would be
dependent upon what you are doing.
