Not allowing to continu unless a specific cell has specific answer
I am trying to see if I can force an answer to be selected in a specific cell
and that if it is not then the person can't move on in the document and cannot save it with that answer. For example, if the answers that can be selected are "yes" and "no", and "no" is selected, then the person using the document will not be able to continue with the questionnaire and save it. Is this possible? |

What do you mean when you say "not be able to continue with the
questionnaire"? What do you want to happen? One thing that can be done is to lock all the cells (except the cell with the "no") and protect the sheet. This will prevent the user from entering anything in any cell. Is this what you want? Preventing a save when a "no" is in a specific cell is simple to do. You can also have a message box pop up which explains to the user whatever you want to explain. All of these things require VBA. HTH Otto "madubois9" wrote in message ...
