Hi,
I'm using the following code to make the user enter data into cells E7:
BF7
before they enter data into cells E9:BF1000
It's working great!
But, now I want to try to modify the code for another worksheet where I
only
need to apply this to column A.
I need to not allow the user to enter data into cells A10:A1000 unless
they
have entered data into cell A9.
I've tried to alter this code to do that...but I had no luck!!


If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub

If Target.Cells(1).Row = 9 _
And Target.Cells(1).Row <= 1000 _
And Target.Cells(1).Column = 5 _
And Target.Cells(1).Column <= 58 Then

If Target.Parent.Cells(7, Target.Cells(1).Column).Value = "" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Undo
Application.EnableEvents = True
MsgBox " This column needs a heading!!You must enter a heading
in cell 7 above. Once the heading is entered into cell 7, you will be able
to enter data into this column.", vbOKOnly, "Column Label Required in Cell
&
above"
Target.Parent.Cells(7, Target.Cells(1).Column).Select
End If
End If


Any help is greatly appreicated!!!
Thanks in advance!
Kimberly
