Excel Macro: Pause & ask user: "Are you sure you want to continue?

[RoBear!]

I have a Macro button that clears all input fields.
To avoid mistakenly clearing the fields, I want to insert a line in the
Macro that will generate a pop-up question: "Are you sure?" with a Yes/No
option.

I am new to Macros, and no nothing about VB.

Thanks,

Rob

Place this at the top of you macro
If MsgBox("Are you sure?", vbQuestion + vbyesCancel) <> vbYes Then
'Do nothing user has select no get out
Exit Sub
End If

hi
best way may be to use an input box. something like this
If Inputbox("are you sure?!?!") = vbyes then
your delete macro
else
exit sub
end if.
you really didn't give enough info to give a real specific answer but play
with this. post back if you have problems.

hi again
correction. that sould be message box.
If msgbox("are you sure?!?!",vbyesno) = vbyes then
your delete macro
else
exit sub
end if.
an input box requires input by the user and here

Mike -- Thanks for your reply!
Problem: Yours works, but it only comes up with the question, "Are you
sure?" and if I click "Yes" it exits the macro, & if I click the "X" (upper
right) to exit, it also exits the macro -- seems to be no way to tell it to
execute the macro?

I think I need a "Yes" or "Cancel" option?

Thanks again for your help!

FSt1:
Thanks for your reply!

I tried to use your approach, but kept getting error msgs.

Here's a simplified version of my Macro (actual version just clears more
cells):

'
Range("B36:B38").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub

How should it look after you edit?

Thanks again for your help!

Bingo! Since sendig you that last msg., I went to "MsgBox" Help and tried
the following:

If MsgBox("Are you sure?", vbOKCancel) <> vbOK Then

Works like a charm!

Thanks again!
