Default Cell entry forces form pop-up

Hi
depends on what the OP wants to use as trigger:
- if the user has to enter a value before the messagebox appears I
would use the worksheet_change event
- With the selection_change event only moving the cursor to the cell
will cause the messagebox

- depens on the OP's requirements :-)

I think you need to use the Worksheet_SelectionChange
event, rather than the WorkSheet_Change event. The change
event occurs, I believe, only when you actually enter
data into a cell, or change data that is already there.
The SelectionChange event occurs whenever the user
selects a new cell or range of cells.

Hi
you may use the worksheet_change event for this (not

tested though)
Enter the following in your worksheet module:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
if target.address = "$E$5" and target.value <"" then
'invoke user form
end if
End Sub
