Gopala, I use a Set Fields $PROCESS$ command to display the pop-up and set the user's selection to a temp field. Here is an example of displaying a question and getting a Yes or No returned.
Set Fields 1: Set $zTmpFld1$ = "Are you sure you want to delete every record in the system?" Set Fields 2: Set $zTmpFld2$ = $PROCESS$ cmd.exe /c $Global - MsgBox.exe$ "$zTmpFld1$" Confirm YesNo Question Button2 The parameters I pass mimic the MessageBox.Show method in VB.Net 2003, including optional ones. As with all my console applications I output the syntax when no parameters are passed - otherwise I would forget what they were after a few months :) Syntax: MsgBox.exe Message WindowTitle Buttons Icon DefaultButton Options Message Message. Use <<CR>> for returns, <<TAB>> for tabs, <<DQ>> for double-quotes WindowTitle Window title. Use <<DQ>> for double-quotes. Default=None Buttons Which buttons? Options: AbortRetryIgnore, OkCancel, RetryCancel, YesNo, YesNoCancel. Default=OK Icon Which icon? Options: Asterisk, Error, Exclamation, Hand, Information, Question, Stop, Warning. Default=None DefaultButton Default button. Options: Button2, Button3. Default=Button1 Options Window options. Options: RightAlign, RtlReading, ServiceNotification. Default=Regular Only the 'Message' parameter is required, the rest are optional. All parameters must be passed in the order listed above. Example: MsgBox.exe "This is the message.<<CR>>Line 2" "This is the title" YesNo Question Button2 I much prefer using a standard Windows messagebox function that automatically sizes the pop-up according to the message text. One of the frequent responses I receive from non-Remedy developers is surprise that Remedy can only display fixed message pop-ups (either through a regular Message command or a custom display-only form used to display messages). Displaying a message or question is the easy part. The other part includes getting the exe to the client: I have a form that contains system settings used by the help desk system. One of these records holds the MsgBox.exe file (8704 bytes). On my startup form I use a Set Fields from the system form to grab the file and set it to a display only attachment field. This action places the exe in the client's %TMP% folder. Because the WUT uses this folder for normal operations there are no permission issues to deal with. Also, the client will always have the most recent version of the exe. I then capture the client's %TMP% value, append "\MsgBox.exe" to it, and store it in the global field $Global - MsgBox.exe$. Then anywhere in the system I need to display a message [in an Active Link] all I need to do is add that global field to the form.

How can we achieve this in the Mid-tier ? I want to remove the ARNOTE only for messages displayed on one particular form, not all.

One alternative in the WUT is using your own pop-up display mechanism instead of Remedy's. I do that here with a tiny .Net console app that wraps all the functionality of the .Net MessageBox.Show method. When I need to display a message (Active Links only) I call this app, which then returns the user's selection (ie. OK, Yes, No, Cancel). The only limitation is the max length of the command line (I believe Windows XP is 8192 characters). I wish BMC would begin to utilize the built in functions in Windows since the Windows User Tool only runs on Windows. MessageBox and MsgBox have been available for many years.

I only want the message to be displayed to the user and not the ARNOTE and number. Environment : ARS 5.1.2 Patch 1389, Mid-tier 6.3 Patch 13, Windows 2000.
