Excel VBA -Force users to populate custom form cells
 

Hi,

Is there a way to force users of a custom form to populate require
cells? I am currently using a macro button to send form data b
e-mail. Prior to actual send, the macro verifies the mandatory cell
are popluated. If not, the blank cell is selected to allow entry.
This form will be moving to a terminal server in near futur
eliminating the need for the send button. I still need to verif
manadory cells are populated and allow users to enter data prior t
closing file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much

You can use the BeforeClose event procedure to do this. In the
ThisWorkbook code module, use something like

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If cells_are_incomplete Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
