Why was MSGBOX changed yesterday

I have been using MSGBOX 8 years. I use it for asking users questions about for instance what data a user wants to work with or code to ask questions. I use it to explain errors. I use it for debugging when I'm working with strings. I've written routines to improve its readability, including code to center strings in MSGBOX.

Someone suggested I look at VBScript, but when I looked at it I've written ALL the functions it has in in VBA.

The MSGBOX documentation wasn't correct, so that must have made it hard to work with. I've worked with it for so long I know how it works. You left it with only the 1st argument, which was a lot of what I did with it. But the rest of my code allows the program to communicate with the user. And you have taken that away with this change.

If you would put it back, I would be willing to be a volunteer MSGBOX specialist. I would be willing to make all my code available for free. I would be willing to take phone calls.

    MsgBox has not changed, so I suggest you post the code you are using and explain what is happening.
