Default Question: Is it possible to link a cell to a comment box window?

Hello,

I have inserted a comment box on a cell and I want the comment to include
information from another cell.

So for example in the comment box it may say "Average is based on 3
employees" where the number three is linked to a cell on a different sheet.
So if the employee count changes to 23, the comment will change accordingly.

is this possible in a comment box?

hi
a comment doesn't work like a cell but you can change the comment programicly.
you might be able to tie it to the worksheet change event.
see debra's site on programing a comment
