Remarks

For built in dialog boxes, this method returns True if the user clicks OK, or it returns False if the user clicks Cancel.

You can use a single dialog box to change many properties at the same time. For example, you can use the Format Cells dialog box to change all the properties of the Font object.

For some built-in dialog boxes (the Open dialog box, for example), you can set initial values using arg1, arg2, ..., arg30. For more information about built-in dialog boxes, see the Dialogs collection.
