If cmt Is Nothing Then

Hi Experts,

I would like to write a macro that can check whether the
activecell contains any comment, and if there is I would
like to append new string to the existing comment. If
there is none, then I would like to add a new comment to
the cell.

Can you experts out there help me with this?

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE.

LSB
