Hi All

I'm trying to incorporate the contents of cell A1 into a message box but
am struggling for syntax. *The content of A1 is text resultant of a
formula.

The box has some leading and trailing text ;

MsgBox "Please go to " *(contents of A1) *" for further information."

Grateful for any advice


Sub marine()
MsgBox "Please go to " & Range("A1").Value & " for further
information."
End Sub


Hi

OK thanks for that.

As the content is a date , it is returning 01/01/2011 in the message
box, when the cell itself is formatted to read January 2011.

Is it possible to modify the code to return a mmmm yyyy format in the
message box?

Thanks again.
