Require specific cell entry before saving file
I want to require the user to enter his/her name in a specific cell (E59)
before the user can save the file. I tried using Data Validation where I specified Text Length between 1 and 40, and left blank the check-box for "Ignore Blank". Nope. I never programmed in VBA, so I hope there is a simple solution (I might be OK with some simple VBA code). ---Pat P.S. I posted this yesterday (Mar 19 2008) and someone was kind enough to respond, but Microsoft's link (in the auto-generated e-mail to me) to the response did not work. I thank that individual for responding, and ask that you please re-send your answer. |

I think you got several replies suggesting use of the ThisWorkbook module "before_save" event. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Patrick Riley" wrote in message ...
