The MsgBox Help topic includes an example that is incorrect; the example does not use the vbMsgBoxHelpButton constant, which is required. To correct the example code in the Help topic, add the constant to the "Style" line of code as follows:

   Style = vbYesNo + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton2 + vbMsgBoxHelpButton
