Thanks, Phil

There's a worksheet_deactivate event that you could use. And under the
ThisWorkbook module, you might want some code in the workbook_beforeclose event,
too.

To add to Dave's response:. Instead of displaying to the user a message
box with an OK button (that he can click and leave the sheet), display a
message box with only a Yes and a No button. The message box would tell him
that such and such has to be corrected and ask him if he wants to correct
it. State that a No response will result in data such and such being
deleted. If he selects Yes, then delete the pertinent data and he gets to
try again. HTH Otto

Dave, thanks much for your reply. Not being a programmer,
I thought there might be a line of code that could simply
be added to what I have that would prevent the user from
leaving the worksheet. Is there? Could you help me with
it?

1. why write code where simple data validation can do the same?

2. prevent the user leaving the sheet -

Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
call worksheet_change([a1])
End Sub

3. REREAD point 1.. THAT'll solve it.

If i read the logic of your code/messages correctly

you check if [M15] is less than [M16]; if it is you say Target cannot be
greater than Chart max, so [M16] must be the target and [M15] must be the
chart max

you then check if [M16] is less than [M18]; if it is you say UCL cannot be
greater than Chart Max, so [M16] must be the chart max and [M18] must be the
UCL

you then check if [M18] is less than [M22]; if it is you say LCL cannot be
greater than UCL, so [M22] must be LCL and [M18] must be the UCL

[M15] - chart max
[M16] - both target and chart max
[M18] - UCL
[M22] - LCL

Maybe I am misinterpreting, but perhaps you need to take another look.

Hi Tom. This is the required order of things:
Cell Name
M15 Chart Max
M16 Target (Other cell names in the IF
M18 UCL ElseIf lines are repeats of the
M22 LCL same situation in other locations
M26 Op Zero in the same worksheet.)
M29 Chart Min

Values must descend from M15 to M29. These values are
flowing into a matrix that creates a combination chart.
I'm trying to enforce this with the users. Since I have
40 cases of this workbook, I would like to place the code
in the workbook module for ease of implementation and
maintenance.

Any advice?
Thanks, Phil

Phil,

Very simply adapting to Chip's code, just repeat for each sheet. Let's
assume the sheets are called Summary, Detail1, Detail2 and Work, then

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

With Worksheets("Summary")
If .[M15] < .[M16] Or .[M47] < .[M48] Or .[M79] < .[M80] Then
MsgBox "Target cannot be greater than Chart Max"
Cancel = True
ElseIf .[M16] < .[M18] Or .[M48] < .[M50] Or .[M80] < .[M82] Then
MsgBox "UCL cannot be greater than Target"
Cancel = True
ElseIf .[M18] < .[M22] Or .[M50] < .[M54] Or .[M82] < .[M86] Then
MsgBox "LCL cannot be greater than UCL"
Cancel = True
End If
End With

With Worksheets("Detail1")
'repeat the code
End With

With Worksheets("Detail2")
'repeat the code
End With


With Worksheets("Work")
'repeat the code
End With

Phil,

The code is for the BeforeClose event procedure, and will prevent
the user from closing the workbook. There is no way to prevent the
user from moving to another workbook as long as this workbook is
still open. You can move all the code to the Deactivate event,
less the Cancel = True statements, to display the message boxes,
but you can't prevent the user from merely switching to another
workbook.
