Default Message box

geotso,

Why not have an input box in your macro asking for a name and then paste
that name in the cell within your macro.
UserName = inputbox("Type your name!","Name Required")

Hi,

I've got the following scenario:

a user runs a macro I've provided, which among others copies a range of
cells of the same row and pastes it in the row above. After that, the
macro
displays a message box prompting him to type his name into one (always the
seventh) of the pasted cells.

Well, is there a way to display in the message box the equivalent name of
the cell for any macro's use?
That means, if the copied range is A10:K10, the pasted range will be A9:K9
so, the cell for user's name will be the G9, and the message box will
show:
"Please, type your name in cell G9"

while, if the copied range is R4:AB4, the pasted range will be R3:AB3 so,
the cell for his name will be the X3, and the message box will show:
"Please, type your name in cell X3"

Thanks
