Default Trying to edit data in other cells from a formula

Hi
not possible with UDFs. The only thing that could do this would be
event procedures (if you require and automatic update)

Hi everyone,
I've run into a problem with the fact that an UDF can't edit
anything apart from the cell it was called from. I'm developing a
wages spreadsheet, something like this:
NAME | RATE |STD HRS |ACTUAL HRS|PAY | where PAY =
CalculatePay()

I have a function called CalculatePay, and if the actual hours are
less than they should be it asks for a reason and updates another
sheet in the workbook. This is where I run into problems, as I can't
modify the cells. Can anyone suggest another approach?
TIA
