Nice question and quite comical. Fluked it really as I didn't note the bit in BOL "between 50,001 and 2,147,483,647" for the @msgnum. Thanks.

Perhaps I put too much thought into this, since I figured that we all actually do lock our computers when we're not using them. I missed it, but also learned that you can type into the messages pane, which I've never done. Good trick question.

Being that my name is Dave, I always wonder when I see messages like that

I'm pretty sure the first answer could be correct as well...

Nice start of the week.
One remark though:
...if you run code that generates an actual error
This not only works when an error has been generated. Any message that is returned will enable it like the famous

A bit late I nearly picked option 3 'sp_addmessage' luckily realising it must have an ID between 50,001 and 2,147,483,647

Option 4 & +1 it is...

but can't type with red color.

You can't create red color in an empty message pane. But if you first execute a statement that will generate an error, then type new text in the middle of the red error message and delete the old error text, your typed text will be in red.

In 80's, on mainfraim I placed the prompt with:
"ADVANCED COBOL '85. COMPILING SOURCE ... SGCONT.CBL"
So, it seemed a neverending compile, instead it was ready!
:-D:-D

I am getting the impression that you have a lot more practical jokes up your sleeve!

I seriuosly looked out for a cath here and when couldn't found any, just gave up and selected the one which I could relate to. Later checked and found the fun part.

Having the question NOT IN (fun category) was fun.
