BUG: A message does not appear in right-to-left reading order when you use the MsgBox function with the VbMsgBoxRtlReading constant in Access 2003 (829008)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Office Access 2003

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).

SYMPTOMS

When you use the MsgBox function with the vbMsgBoxRtlReading constant, a message does not appear in right-to-left reading order.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, add a form instead of using the MsgBox function. Set the Orientation property of the form to right-to-left. Also, you can set the following properties of the form to make the form behave like a message box:

Property Name	Value
Pop Up	Yes
Dividing Lines	No
Record Selectors	No
Navigation Buttons	No
Min Max Buttons	None
Border Style	Dialog

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

Create a blank database.
Create a new module, and then add the following test code to the new module:
```
Sub Test()
	Msgbox "abcde", vbMsgBoxRtlReading + vbCritical
End Sub
```
On the View menu, click Immediate Window.
Type Test in the Immediate window, and then press the ENTER key.

The message does not appear in right-to-left reading order.
