Default Data validation input message

gotcha. It's the message that pops up when you select the cell--not the error
message, not a comment.

I don't know a way.

I am familiar with resizing comments in Excel but you cannot do the same
with Data Validation can you?

The question I'm asking is whether you can change the size of the message
that appears when the cell (in which Data Validation has been set) is
selected??!!?

Thanks,

DT.

You sure you didn't read about resizing comments?

I don't think I've seen a way to change that data|validation message.

invalid data has been entered.

I seem to remember reading in the past that it can be resized using

VBA
code
but can't for the life of me remember where I read this.

I'm not sure what message appears when the cell is *selected*. Are

you
referring to the error message that is triggered by an invalid

entry?
If
so,
AFAIK, there is no way to modify it.

Can anyone please offer any advice? ..... I am using data

validation
on
a
worksheet and would like to resize the message box that appears

when
the
cell is selected. Can this be done in Excel either using an option

or by
using some VBA?

Many thanks,

DT.
