Imput Box Question

[Db1712]

Is there a way to have an imput box, with two value line imputs tha
opens when e.g sheet1 opens. The value of line 1 is then linked t
Sheet2 Range A1. The value of line 2 is linked to Sheet2 Range B1.
Also once a value is assigned to the linked cells via the imput box
the imput box doesn't re-open when accessing the sheet it is assigne
to. Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

Imput Box Example
Enter Sales ________
Enter Previous Sales _______

You could create a little userform with the two textboxes and a couple of
buttons on them (ok/cancel).

Then have the code check to see if the cells are empty before showing the
userform.

In a general module:

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
With Worksheets("sheet1")
If Trim(.Range("a1").Value) = "" _
Or Trim(.Range("b1").Value) = "" Then
UserForm1.Show
End If
End With
End Sub

In the userform module:

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

If Trim(Me.TextBox1.Text) = "" _
Or Trim(Me.TextBox2.Text) = "" Then
MsgBox "Please enter values in both text boxes"
Exit Sub
End If

With Worksheets("sheet1")
.Range("a1").Value = Me.TextBox1.Text
.Range("b1").Value = Me.TextBox2.Text
End With

Unload Me

End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
'hit the cancel key
Unload Me
End Sub
