The following example displays a message box with a title of "Hello."

 Open a new workbook. Start the Visual Basic Editor (press OPTION+F11). On the Insert Menu, click Module.  Type the following code in the new module: Sub ChangeTitleBar msgPrompt = "Click OK to continue." msgTitle = "Hello" MsgBox Prompt:=msgPrompt, Title:=msgTitle End Sub  On the Tools menu, click Macros. Click "ChangeTitleBar," and then click Run.

Notice the word "Hello" is in the title bar.</li> Click OK.</li></ol>
