I have a form and when submitted it will first check some values with VBScript.
Then a msgbox will pop-up asking to submit the form (Yes or No).

It is so that which button i click the form is always submitted.

I have the following sort of function:

FUNCTION MyForm_OnSubmit
msgbox("Continue?"), 4
MyForm_OnSubmit = TRUE
END FUNCTION

Now i want to submit the form when pressed YES in the message box and not when pressed NO in the messagebox. How do i do that?

OK, with some experimenting and searching I figured it out.

I should do it like this:

FUNCTION MyForm_OnSubmit
returnvalue = MsgBox("Continue"), 4
IF returnvalue = 6 THEN
MyForm_OnSubmit = TRUE
ELSE
MyForm_OnSubmit = FALSE
END IF
END FUNCTION

I found some info at the following URL:
