This may work, too:

MsgBox "Please go to " & Range("A1").text & " for further"


Hi Dave

OK thanks for that - it works perfectly first time also.

Best Wishes

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


You do realize if you don't tell us all of your conditions up front, there is
minimum chance that we would be able to guess them, right?

Give this code a line a try...

MsgBox "Please go to " & Format(Range("A1").Value, _
Range("A1").NumberFormat) & " for further"
