form creation

[Peter Bailey]

I would like to have a small form pop up or msgbox that pops up when the
user is in a particular column so I can show error entry codes. I am not
sure of how to achieve this, it must detect that the user changed the column
and then show entry data permissable for that row.

Advice much appreciated.

Regards
Peter

Peter,

This may get a bit annoying every time anyone goes into that column!

But this code will do it for column 3, C
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 3 Then
MsgBox "yourmessage"
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Hi Peter

have you checked out Data / Validation - this might meet your needs without
having to do any coding at all. Debra Dalgleish has extensive notes and
examples at her site www.contextures.com/tiptech.html

Data Validation will do the pop-ups for you. You set the criteria and the
message. On the menu select Data/Validation.
