Hi! I was wondering if it is possible to write a macro so that if any of
the
words "admin", "manager" or "co-ordinator" are entered into any of the
cells
A1:B3, then a message box will pop up saying "Your current user status
allows
editing". It would be great if it would work if any of those three words
are
put in, but if it can only look out for one particular word, "admin" would
be
enough.

Ideally (and this really would be perfect!) it would be great if the macro
could still look at cells A1:B3, but that it would have different messages
depending on which key-word is entered. e.g.
- If "admin" is entered it would display "You may edit data only"
- If "manager" is entered it would display "You have editing data and
modify
content"
- If "co-ordinator" is entered it would display "Please contact extension
1453 for more information"
Can anybody think of a way of doing this? (I am a bit of a Visual Basic
novice, but can follow instructions!)

Many thanks in advance, Neil Goldwasser
