Is there a way to have mandatory cells that must be
contain data being checked before the document is close
and prompting the user to complete all mandatory cells.

Many Thanks,


Simon

Hi Simon

You can use the Counta function like this in the Thisworkbook module

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Sheets("Sheet 1").Range("a1:a10")) < 10 Then
MsgBox "fill in all cells"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
