Status: offline 		1) Why do we sometimes use parenthesis and sometimes not? (i.e. sometimes I see MsgBox("Hello",0,"Title") and sometimes just MsgBox "hello",0,"title"?

2) If want to display a string stored in a variable to my users.  However I need them to be able to select it and copy/paste it.  A MsgBox doesn't seem to let them select the text.  Any way round this?

Status: offline 		I kinda sorted Q2 above, I used an input box instead of a MsgBox, and simply made it's default value the string I want them to be able to copy/paste.

Not ideal though, as InputBoxes have Ok and Cancel buttons, and I don't want to confuse my users.

Status: offline 		It depends on whether you want to assign the return value to a variable or not.  If you do, you need to surround the parameters for Msgbox in parentheses

Personally, I always use parentheses as I find it makes it easier to read.
