Derek,
You can't.The VFP Messagebox() function is a very thin wrapper around the system messagebox API call, and it doesn't have many options. If you want more control, check out one of the many Messagebox() substitutes available in the VFP Download area on the UT (http://www.universalthread.com/).

You could call the Windows API directly -- VFP's MessageBox() calls two api's
(beep, and box)

Josh,
Thanks - that's news to me. I guess VFP's version is a bit more that just as wrapper!
