Default Is it possible to have different pop up messages to appear

Hi Andy

Yes I could use conditional formatting to change text colour, therefore
could you please show me what worksheet event code I should use to show the
different messages as I do not any experience of coding
Thanks
John

Hi,

You could use worksheet event code to display a message box. But message
boxes do not allow formatting of the message. For that you would need to
use a userform.

Would the choice of red for correct not confuse the user? Red normally
indicates a warning, bad or incorrect status.

Can you not use conditional formatting to change the cells pattern colour?

Cheers
Andy

message popus will show "Incorrect" with blue bold text etc.

Thanks in advance of any help.
