You were getting some errors and the On Error statement was skipping the
code. I commented the ON Error statements until you get the code working. I made some changes to the code below Option Explicit Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim strTitle As String Dim strMsg As String Dim sTemp As Object Dim lDVType As Long Dim ws As Worksheet Application.EnableEvents = False Set ws = ActiveSheet Set sTemp = ws.OLEObjects("txtInputMsg").Object 'On Error Resume Next lDVType = 0 lDVType = Target.Validation.Type 'On Error GoTo errHandler If lDVType = 0 Then sTemp.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "" sTemp.Visible = msoFalse Else If Target.Validation.InputTitle < "" Or _ Target.Validation.InputMessage < "" Then strTitle = Target.Validation.InputTitle & Chr(10) strMsg = Target.Validation.InputMessage With sTemp .Text = strTitle & strMsg .FontBold = False '.Characters(1, Len(strTitle)).Font.Bold = True End With sTemp.Visible = msoTrue Else sTemp.Text = "" ws.OLEObjects("txtInputMsg").Visible = msoFalse End If End If errHandler: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub "HCS7 via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Joel wrote: from: Set ws = ActiveSheet Set sTemp = ws.Shapes("txtInputMsg") To: Set ws = ActiveSheet Set sTemp = ws.OLEObjects("txtInputMsg").Object sTemp.Text = "Joel" the data validation list only allows 200 characters, i am able to do this but i cant edit the textbox and add more information to it? any help.
